Ive a senario.
Ive configured SMS gateway SMSC setting via HTTP or UCP from one operator with shortcode. However can other operator send msg (MO) to my SMS gateway with same shortcode? If can, via which transport? UCP?HTTP?SMPP?

Thank you.

Receiving messages for the same short code is not necessarily a problem. Just define another SMSC connection for whatever protocol that operator is using.

The problem comes in replying out to those messages under the same short code.

When you send a message out, NowSMS looks at the default sender address configured for the SMSC to decide which SMSC connection to send the messsage out via. Some people use this to generate replies back via the same SMSC that the message came into the gateway with.

So it depends on whether or not it is important in your system for replies to go out under the short code, or if they can go out via another sender address. If they can go out via another address, no problem.
