This is the support forum for the Now SMS/MMS Gateway, which is a software product. NowSMS is not a bulk SMS service provider, and it is not a replacement for an SMS service provider.

In order to send any SMS messages with NowSMS, you will need a subscription to an SMS service provider, or a GSM modem.

Basically, there's no free lunch. Mobile operators make sure that somebody gets charged when an SMS message is delivered. Yes, there are some free SMS web sites, but the way that they work is that they sell advertising on the site to subsidise the cost of sending SMS. (The only exception is in the US and some other areas, where you can send an SMS by sending to a special e-mail address at the mobile operator. In these cases, it is the recipient of the message that gets charged for the message delivery.)

The Now SMS/MMS Gateway is a middleware tool for SMS, which among other features, can be used to manage connections to one or more service providers; or to manage receiving SMS messages; or to perform message formatting for advanced message types such as WAP push, MMS, etc.
