I have 3 modems added in nowsms those modems are using different carriers. How can I route an sms to be sent using the specific modem.

For example

sms1 is sent to a number +45916xxxxxxx

I want to check if the number starts with +45916 and then send it using modem 1

if another sms is sent with the number +45922xxxxxxx I want to send it using modem 2.

So basically I want to check the prefix of the number with at least 4 characters and specify what modem it should use to send the sms.

Can you please help me on how to achieve this?}

I already found the answer here

http://blog.nowsms.com/2008/07/routing-sms-messages-to-specifc-smsc.html

If NowSMS did not find a match on the sender address, then it evaluates the recipient address, and it will look to see if it finds a match in the "Preferred SMSC Connection for" recipient address masks associated with any of the SMSC connections. (These recipient address masks can be wildcards such as "+44*" to match any phone number that starts with "+44".) If NowSMS finds a match, then it looks for the longest mask that provides a match, and routes the message via the connection with the longest matching mask. (For example, if you were sending to +447624999999, and you had one connection with a mask of "+44*", and another with "+447624*", then the connection with the mask of "+447624*" would be used as it is a longer match than "+44*".)


But where can I find the form to enter the recipient address masks? is it on the SMSC tab > Properties > Routing > Preffered SMSC connection for


Is that where I need to enter the phone number mask?
