Hello. I've read a lot about the services of NowSMS but I don't understand. In fact, if I want to send an MMS ant that I can't reach the MMSC server of my operator (Mobisatr), the person who will receive the SMS with the settings for the connection will not be able to retreive the MMS because the MMS will be on another server not reachable with the default settings of the phone?

Is it right?

Can you tell me if we have acces to the server of Mobistar belgium?

Thanks

I do not know whether or not Mobistar's MMS settings are open to external MMSCs or not. Because they have a separate GPRS APN for MMS, I suspect that they are not open to external MMSCs, meaning that if you attempt direct MMS delivery with NowSMS as an MMSC, the recipient will not be able to download the message. (You can always try it.)

The alternative approach is to send MMS messages over a GSM/GPRS modem through the operator MMSC.

We do have the settings for Mobistar included in the following thread:

Configuring NowSMS to submit messages through an operator MMSC is described in the following link:
