Greetings! We've been recently testing the currently available Now SMS/MMS Gateway software. I've encountered a few problems and/or difficulties during my testing. It seems that the 2-Way SMS Support lacks certain variables which is important in the functionality of the system. As of the current release, only these variables are available for the user. @@SENDER@@ @@SMSPREFIX@@ @@SMS@@ @@FULLSMS@@ @@RECIP@@ This information passed between systems is very much insufficient. In that it lacks important data for decision making. First, it lacks the ability to extract the DATE and TIME when the SMS was *actually* sent. The system cannot rely on the system clock as reference nor the at the date and time the SMS was received because this is inaccurate. This is critical in a sense if the timeliness when the SMS is sent is at the essence. Adding a variable perhaps would solve this problem. For example: @@DATETIME@@ = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" @@DATE@@ = "yyyy/mm/dd" @@TIME@@ = "hh:mm:ss" Again, this is not the time when the SMS is received but the time when it was sent. Second, it lacks tracing capability. When reviewing the DEBUG.LOG and SMSIN and our SMSRCV DB, we cannot relate each of their contents to one another. Instead, we had to painstakingly compare the entries one after the other to be successful. We can somehow remedy this by adding a trace number. For example: @@GUID@@ = "nnnnnnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnnnnnnnnnn" @@SEQUENCE@@ = "nnnnnnnnnn" Third, it does not identify whether the content sent was in BINARY form or in TEXT form. This is very important so that the message can be identified accordingly. We can do this by adding the variable. For example: @@DATATYPE@@ = "Binary" or "Text" We would like to know if this is already available in the upcoming release of the product in February 24.
