Dear NowSMS Support,

I have troubles when using nowSMS to reply the notification sms. For instance, I am creating the pooling system, and the sender will get a notification SMS such as: "You have chosen the option A. Thank you for your participation."

However, the notification SMS will stuck in the Outbound SMS Queue, even though NowSMS have already sent the SMS to the sender, and the sender will get the unlimited notification SMS (so far I ever tried was 30 SMS received by the sender) until I delete the query at the Outbound SMS Queue.

Its also happen when I send a SMS through localhost:8800, and when I submitted it, it wont stop sending SMS to the recipient number. How could I overcome this problem? coz I have try to figure it out with googling, but I didnt get any information that could help me. Thx alot in advance.

PS: I am using my P1i (Sony Ericsson) as my modem.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't think the SonyEricsson P1 actually supports a GSM modem interface for sending/receiving SMS messages. (Earlier models in that series, such as the P800, P900 and P910 definitely did not support SMS messages via the GSM modem interface.)

The phone fools NowSMS into thinking that it supports it by returning OK responses to some test commands. However, when NowSMS actually tries to send a command to send an SMS message, the modem returns an ERROR response.

I'd be curious to see an SMSDEBUG.LOG from your system showing the modem initialisation and attempt to send a message. (Enable the SMSDEBUG.LOG with a checkbox setting on the "Serial #" page of the NowSMS configuration.)

Additionally, it is possible that the modem only supports text mode for SMS over the GSM modem interface, whereas NowSMS uses PDU mode. It is possible to configure NowSMS to use text mode by manually editing the SMSGW.INI file, and under the [Modem - Sony Ericsson P1 USB Modem] header, add ModemTextMode=Yes

Restart the NowSMS service after editing SMSGW.INI.

I expect that similar problems will occur with text mode, but it is worth trying.

Additional information on GSM modems that can be used with NowSMS can be found here: http://www.nowsms.com/support/GSMModem.htm
