I need to connect with Ericsson's Service Integration Gateway version 4.1 over SMPP using NowSMS. And I need to send SMS to a distribution list maintained over Ericsson's SIG. I have to send message to that distribution list by calling its name in the destination address as dl:<distributionlist>. I need to know if this is possible in NowSMS? If yes, then how? Awaiting your early reply. Thanks | |||

Hi Tom, The way that Ericsson does this is a little unusual. In most cases, sending an SMS message to an alphanumeric address is not supported. You need a late 2010 or 2011 release of NowSMS (http://www.nowsms.com/category/updates) in order to support a parameter that will allow sending to dl:<distributionlist> over SMPP. To enable this support, manually edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMSGW] header, add AllowAlphaRecip=Yes. Restart the NowSMS service after updating this file to enable the setting. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Dear Des, I tried with the release you mentioned and also added the option AllowAlphaRecip=Yes under [SMSGW] header in SMSGW.INI, but whenever i try to send message to dl:Dl3 using web interface, it says invalid phone format. Can you please help me understand how would i submit message to dl list on Ericsson SIG using NOWSMS ? Your urgent reply will be a great help. | |||

Hi Tom, That is the error you will see if that setting is not applied, or if the version of NowSMS does not support the setting, or the NowSMS service has not been restarted since the setting was applied. Make sure you are running 2010.11.04 or later. Also male sure there is only one [SMSGW] header in SMSGW.INI. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
