Hi,

Is there anyway we can know the status when sending sms thru nowsms? (delivered / not delivered)
Also, when sending mms, is there anyway to findout the status? (whether the mms notification has been sent succesfully, or whether the mms has been retrieved by mobile recipient)

rgds, Nico

Hi Nico,

We're currently investigating SMS status reporting. Unfortunately, the format of notifications seems to vary quite a bit between different systems. So we're still trying to figure out the best way to handle this.

On MMS messages, we're currently logging an MMSRETRIEVE entry to the log file when a mobile phone connects in to retrieve an MMS message, so that you can know that it was delivered.

In the short term future, we're going to add support so that the sender can request a delivery notification, and get a response back when the MMS message is delivered. (No non-delivery MMS message notification in this next version.)
