Has anybody tried this?

Does it work? It does not work for me. Any help would be appreciated....

Please see the following thread for general 2-way SMS troubleshooting tips:

I'd love to offer more detailed advice, but I know nothing about your configuration. So please read the referenced link, and provide more detail about your configuration and what you are seeing.

Thanks for your reply.
The 2-way SMS works fine with me with the execption of specifying the parameter for "receive phone number(s)". I am configured to receive SMSs through an SMPP connection through a short number "1234". That is were people would send their SMS's to me.
When I specify "1234" as the "receive phone number" on the 2-way tab, the "command to execute" does not get executed.
I need to do this as I want to process different commands for different "receive phone numbers".
I am not using any "SMS command prefix", so I am keeping that as "*".

We pass along the recipient phone number that comes in from the SMPP server. The SMPP server might be remapping "1234" to some other number.

What do you see as the recipient phone number in those received messages? (Add @@RECIP@@ to your 2-way command to pass the recipient phone number in the request.)
