And what service provider are you connecting to over HTTP?

To avoid any potential confusion, I should explain that the Now SMS/MMS Gateway is a software product. NowSMS is not a bulk SMS service provider, and it is not a replacement for an SMS service provider. You will need a subscription to an SMS service provider, or a GSM modem, in order to send messages with NowSMS.

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.

You will need a subscription to an SMS service provider, or a GSM modem, in order to send messages with NowSMS.

Thanz for your reply...

Now i have using my Motorola E365 as the phone modem. The NowSMS can SMS to other phone with the web interface also.

I m doing the reservation system using the sms. So when the customer send the keyword RESERVE to the gateway, the NowSMS will get the message.

(1)How do i send the full message to my system to be validate and check the availability of the reservation??m Do anybody have the Java program that can link to the NowSMS??

(2)How do i send back the result of validation to the NowSMS to response back the customer??

(3)Could i get back the history of the current customer's message when the customer send back his/her reserve confirmation message to me??

Hi William,

1.) NowSMS can pass the data from the received message to a command-line executable program or to a script running on an HTTP server.

See:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/8663.html

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm

But basically, if you have a command that you can run from a command line prompt in Windows, or that can be accessed by an HTTP request, then it can be configured as a "2-way" command in NowSMS.

2.) If your application is a command-line program, you can usually just echo the text of your respone to the screen. NowSMS captures screen output, and returns it as a reply for a 2-way command.

If your application is an HTTP request, then you must return an HTTP header of "Content-type: text/plain" in your response and include the text of your response in the body of the HTTP response.

3.) Any history would be maintained by your application program that is processing the received messages.
