Hi,

1. Do you mean that you want to stop sending out any messages after the modem has sent out 3000 messages?

There is no current setting to specify a fixed limit like this.

We are in the process of adding a feature to limit the number of messages sent by a modem per day or per month, where the limit is reset the next day or next month. Would that work, or do you need a fixed limit?

2. Issue simple HTTP requests to the NowSMS server when you want to send a message. More info on URL parameters here: http://www.nowsms.com/doc/submitting-sms-messages

Examples for PHP, Java and .NET here: http://www.nowsms.com/faq/api

3. NowSMS will not interface directly to a database, it uses HTTP.

Hi Vijay,

Apologies for the delay in response. My colleague Des asked me to update a document that I wrote some years ago in order to help answer your second question.

1. Des asked this question because we will be updating our beta version early next week to allow monthly and/or daily limits to be applied to a modem.

When a daily limit is applied, the modem will stop sending until the next day.

When a monthly limit is applied, the modem will stop sending until the next month (with a setting to configure which day of the month a new billing month begins on).

Because with the daily limit, it is not necessarily a good idea to release messages to be sent when a new day begins at midnight, we are also adding a quiet hours setting to restrict sending during certain hours.

Unfortunately this is not a fixed limit like you are requesting.

2. With an HTTP request, the PhoneNumber parameter specifies the message recipient. This can be a phone number, distribution list name, or a comma delimited list of phone numbers and/or distribution list names.

The following document provides more information on distribution lists, how to send to them, and manage and edit them:

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
But I want to ask you stop sending out any messages after the modem has sent out 3000 messages and it is fixed for every attachment (like a single modem connect and disconnect twice a day than it send 6000 message ie change sim two time in a single GSM modem) of modem not monthly or daily basic.

Hi Vijay,

I have discussed your requirements for a fixed credit limit with our engineering team. We are considering this for a future update, but I do not know when it will be implemented. I may have more information later this week.

We did post an update today that adds support for automatically reset daily or monthly limits.

Starting with version 2014.05.11, under the SMSC specific section header in SMSGW.INI (e.g., [Modem - Name] or [NowSMSModem - name]), the following settings are available:

CreditLimitDay=####
CreditLimitMonth=####
CreditLimitResetDay=##

#### is the number of messages allowed to be sent via this connection for the specified period (daily or monthly).

CreditLimitResetDay specifies the day of the month on which the monthly allocation should be reset, as most mobile plans are not fixed to a calendar month, but start on a particular day of the month.

When the limit is hit, the modem will be taken off-line until the next period and will appear in an error status. An e-mail alert will be set if error alerts are configured.

I understand that your requirement is for a "manual reset" limit, so this will most likely not meet your needs.

Version 2014.05.11 is currently a beta release, and is available for download at http://www.nowsms.com/download-free-trial ... after filling out the form select the beta version with Android modem support.
