Hello
we are looking for an Software for converting SMPP Sms to our http SMS server.

Our customer want to log in via SMPP and sending there SMS .
We have an Voip/SMS server that only support http sms sending.

So we want an Software where our customer log via smpp and the software sends the sms via our http SMS server with an http link like this : >
http://server_ip/sms.ashx?login=(SMS server login) &pass=(sms server password)&text=Hello World&from=(sender)&to=(receiver)

Is this possible with your software ?
If yes, how we can programm the link to our sms server
The login and the password we can take the same then the login into your software.




The short answer is yes, you can do this with NowSMS.

The longer answer with the basic steps is a bit more involved.

Your service would be seen as an HTTP SMSC.

The current configuration screen has changed a little since the description here: http://www.nowsms.com/doc/configuring-smsc-connections/http-smsc … but the changes are minor.

The basics for your HTTP SMSC config would be:

NowSMS Route Name = whatever you chose.

Server Type = custom

Server host name = http://server_ip

URL Template Text = /sms.ashx?login=@@SubmitUser@@&pass=@@SubmitPassword@@&text=@@Text@@&from=@@Send er@@&to=@@PhoneNumber@@

More parameter tuning will be required for long messages and Unicode, but that will get you started.

The link I referenced above explains how to deliver messages (and optionally delivery reports) back to an SMPP client.

SMPP clients are defined in the “SMS Users” page. Or they can be provisioned via an HTTP API: http://www.nowsms.com/doc/advanced-configuration-settings/provisioning-sms-and-m msc-user-accounts-via-http

The SMPP server is enabled on the “Web” page of the configuration dialog.

If you need more assistance, I’d suggest creating a thread in the support forum area of our web site at http://www.nowsms.com/messages, where we can also point you to some other informative links from past questions from other customers. Delivery report handling, in particular, seems to be an issue that takes some effort. One good explanation of delivery report handling is here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/24921.html
