Hello! I am unable to use 2 Way SMS service.After setting all the required settings, phone receives the message but PC does not response to it. My settings are ( just for testing): SMS Command Filed:Phone number Command to execute:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\winword.exe=@@SENDER@@ By the way in the help file you have reminder about @@SMSPREFIX@@ option but versions 4.2 and 5.0Beta do not recognize this field. Please correct me if i'm wrong in getting this kind of service Better answer by mail 10x a lot | |||

Just a suggestion, but did you try removing events, including the wildcard event (the event box is empty), from the "Received SMS Command Table", and check the "Processes Received Messages" box, and see if the incoming message is written to the SMS-IN directory. Once that is working, and you know the messages are making it to NowSMS, then you can try to fiddle with the event commands. | |||

Zhang's suggestion is a very good one. I would start there. Also, I'd try the example in the documentation (the ECHO command) rather than trying to launch Microsoft Word. I'm not sure what you are referring to with the @@SMSPREFIX@@ variable. That is still supported. | |||

Thanks for the suggestion 1.I've tried Zhang's way and I did see the messages in the SMS-IN directory, but after using the example in the documentation phone stopped sending the messages ( in case i was sending to myself it stopped receiving them too) 2.When trying to use @@SMSPREFIX@@ command i have pop-up message that explains about 3 options only: @@SENDER@@ @@SMS@@ @@FULLSMS@ Let's solve it different way...What would you do in order to open winword.exe by receiving SMS message? Thank you for the help | |||

Vova, @@SMSPREFIX@@ is definitely supported, it just isn't mentioned in that pop-up message. Technically you should be able to define a command that only included an @@SMSPREFIX@@ entry, but you are correct that the configuration program will not allow this. It requires that at least one of the other variables be present in the command. The thought of launching Microsoft Word in response to the receipt of an SMS still seems a little odd to me ... but I decided to give it a try. What I noticed was that I had to define the SMS command like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\winword.exe" @@SENDER@@ Basically, because of the spaces in the directory path leading up to the executable, I had to put "quote" characters around the executable name. | |||

At first I want to thank you for support.I'm still using the trial s/w, but have already convinced my boss to buy it.One problem is left- 2way SMS still does not work :-( I set this up exact way you had explained. I see incoming log messages in the directory with the content and sender number, but no application is opened. Is there some special way of sending? Could this problem happen because I was sending to myself? 10x a lot | |||

Vova, I'm not sure why the command isn't being executed, but let's try enabling the debug log to see what is going on. Manually edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMSGW] section header, add Debug=Yes. Then restart the SMS gateway service. Repeat your attempt to send an inbound message. E-mail me (or post here) the SMSDEBUG.LOG file. I'd also like to see your SMSGW.INI file. You can either post here, or e-mail to nowsms@now.co.uk. -bn | |||
