Dear NowSMS,

I'm currently using your trial version of NowSMS and I faced the following problem:

I have a 4-Digit short number 1357 which is connected with 2 providers.

- Provider A via CIMD2 (+30697*)
- Provider B via SMPP (+30694*) {4 connections, receive ports 5100/5200/5300/5400 and send port 5200}

I have an ASP.Net application which is parsing the messages, store them in a Database and send the appropriate replies.

I don't know how to route the outgoing messages (MT) to the SMSC at which the Sender Number belongs to.

To be more specific when I want to send a reply to a user with number +306945xxx I want to use the SMPP connection with port 5200 (the transceiver one), and when I want to send to a user with +306977xxxx I want to use the CIMD2 connection.

Thank you in advance.

ROUTING SOLUTION:
---------------------------------------------
1. Go to "SMSC" tab.
2. Edit the connection you want to route e.g Provider A.
3. Under the "Routing" label check the "Support any outbound message trafic" and in the "Preferred SMSC Connection for:" ADD the mobile prefixes.
- Provider A -> ADD 30697*
- Provider B -> ADD 30694*

Now, if you enable the DEBUG logs you will see that the outgoing messages will be routed to your preferred provider.

This solution is also documented by NowSMS but I didn't see it before.
