Hi Sami,

I need to know specifically what you are trying to test.

Without an SMSC connection defined, there is very limited functionality available.

Whether or not you can do what you want to test depends on what exactly you want to test. So please explain.

Hi Bryce,

Can you test 2-way functionality using two servers equipped with NowSMS i.e. create one or two SMPP servers and send messages using the web interface on one to trigger a response on the other?

Hi.
I'm using nokia 3100 but I see that it's not accepted by nowsms gateway. Is this right? Nokia 3100 doesn't support at commands?

Hi Curious,

Yes, I suppose you could do this.

DARO,

To the best of my knowledge, the Nokia 3100 does not provide a GSM modem interface.

You could try connecting to the COM port via Hyperterminal to see if you can get a modem response back, but I don't think you will. If you want to try this, use Hyperterminal to connect to the COM port, then after you are connected, type ATZ and press Enter ... if it's a modem, you should get an OK response back.

Hi.
I tried to connect nokia 3100 to nowsms gateway but the application doesn't support this model.
Is it true that nokia 3100 doesn't support at commands?

Hi.
I used hyperterminal and it seems that you are right bruce, answer for ATZ is ERROR.

Could you tell me which mobile phones can be used as gsm modems?

Hi,
You can use a free simulator to act as a virtual SMSC!
It can send messages to NowSMS (MO messages) and receive messages from Nowsms too(MT)

download and install SMPPSim

It is interesting that it actually responds back with "ERROR". It might be worth trying some other commands ... what if you just type AT and press Enter .... if that works, try AT+CSMS=0 ...

Great!... how? Any time I try to send a message it reaches the nowsms/q directory as a *.req file and stops there, doesn't even make it to the user/q dir...

Everything looks normal in the logs:

smsin-date-.log
2005-03-29 10:00:20,XXX,Text,XXX,+XXX

smsdebug.log
10:00:20:250 [5] SMPPServerReceiveMessageCallback: inbound message: sender=XXX, recip=XXX, pid=0, dcs=0, msgFlags=0, udh=, msg=XXX

It's just not doing anything...

Curious,

Well, I guess this is a little more complicated than I first thought. But it still should be possible.

NowSMS only triggers a 2-way script when it receives a message from a connection defined in its "SMSC" list.

So if you have Server 1 configured to connect to server 2 as Server 1's SMSC ... Server 2 sees the message as coming from an SMPP client connection, not an SMPP server connection. And it will not route the message to a 2-way command.

So what you have to do is get tricky.

On Server 1, define an "SMS Users" account with SMPP enabled, and the option selected to route messages to the account. Then define some numbers to route into this account. We support a comma-delimited list of numbers here, and you can use ? (match 1 character) or * (match 0 or more characters) wildcard characters.

When you send a message to a phone number that matches a number in this list, it gets routed to the user account instead of to an outbound SMSC routing.

Configure Server 2 to use Server 1 as its SMSC, connecting with that "SMS Users" account.

Server 2 will see the messages as being received from its SMSC connection, and will process 2-way commands against the received messages. Replies could also be routed back to Server 1 via this SMSC connection.
