Hi,

To avoid any potential confusion, I should explain that the Now SMS/MMS Gateway is a software product. NowSMS is not a bulk SMS service provider, and it is not a replacement for an SMS service provider. You will need a subscription to an SMS service provider, or a GSM modem, in order to send messages with NowSMS.

The Now SMS/MMS Gateway is a middleware tool for SMS, which among other features, can be used to manage connections to one or more service providers; or to manage receiving SMS messages; or to perform message formatting for advanced message types such as WAP push, MMS, etc.

So, basically, it is not going to replace your SMS service provider. It could make it easier for you to switch to a different SMS service provider ... but you still need some type of SMS connectivity in order to send any messages.
