Hi guys

We're having an issue with our additional SMPP Option parameters on some inbound messages.

Usually, when we receive an inbound message from our SMSC bind, a unique message_id is included as part of the message. We then receive the message id back from the 2-way SMS HTTP request that NowSMS pushes to us.

We use this ID in order to send messages back to handset which is especially needed when we send premium messages. This allows the SMSC to validate the number against the message id before it's sent.

If it's not included, the message is rejected.

However, when we receive a multi-part message, the message id is still included, but it isn't returned to us via the 2-way HTTP push.

When looking at the logs, it appears that a new message is generated by NowSMS in order to pair the message segments together again. It would seem that any additional parameters are then discarded.

Could you provide some input as to how to fix this issue?

Regards
Chris

Hi Chris,

That is definitely a problem.

I've uploaded an update that properly preserves these "SMPP Options" and the "Service Type" value when recombining long messages. (These values are extracted from the first segment only.)

The update can be found at http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsms20100127.zip.
