There are different ways that you could do this.

But basically, you would be configuring a "2-way" command script to process received messages. NowSMS would take information from the received message, and pass it to the command that you configure.

General information about 2-way commands can be found here:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm

There is also a simple example at the following link which shows a VBScript being run as a 2-way command, where the script simply writes the received message to a text file. It might be easiest for you to try to adapt this example:

What happens?

Note that on many systems WSCRIPT.EXE is located in \Windows\System32 instead of \WINNT\System32.

Also, make sure that when you create incall.vbs it is actually saved as incall.vbs. (If you use Notepad, it often likes to add .txt to the end of the filename, so it saves as incall.vbs.txt instead of incall.vbs.)

Also, make sure that the directory referenced in the example actually exists. The example logs to the c:\temp\nowsms directory, so that directory would need to exist.

Before you try the script, however, it might be worthwhile to confirm that you are actually receiving SMS messages into NowSMS.

What type of SMSC connection are you using? If it is a modem or phone/modem, what is the model?
