Hi, I operate a mobile software development lab and need to connect our applications to a real SMSC using CIMD2 protocol. This is a costly solution considering that for development purpose I do not need to send large amount of messages. Is it possible to configure nowsms as a "virtual SMSC"? I.e. Nowsms accepting CIMD2 request and sends out the sms messages using an attached mobile phone? Refer to the diagram below: program --cimd2--> nowsms --sms via phone --> MT If the above is not possible, any other suggestion that I can investigate on? Alternative solutions using UCP or SMPP protocol is also fine. | |||

NowSMS can do this in accepting SMPP input, and sending the messages out via a GSM modem. However, it cannot accept CIMD2 client input. The SMPP server port that NowSMS listens on can be configured on the "Web" page of the NowSMS configuration dialog. Individual accounts that can submit via SMPP are provisioned on the "SMS Users" page. If you want to receive messages over the GSM modem connection and route them to an SMPP client, configure a phone number for the GSM modem (Properties on the "SMSC" page), and in the account definition ("SMS Users" page) check "Route received messages to this user via SMPP", and specify the previously configured phone number in the phone number field. Then any messages received over that GSM modem will be routed to the specified SMPP client. | |||
