Hi there,

we are using Now.SMS v5.0

If I go through the web interface on port 8800 to send an MMS I can put whatever text I want in the From field. The phone then displays this text correctly as the Sender:

When I go through the port :80/mm1 interface I have problems.
1. If I set the originator to an MSISDN eg
441122334455/TYPE=PLMN then this is received
on the phone as the originator correctly.
2. If I set the originator to an email address eg
bill.comer@myco.com this again is displayed
correctly as the Sender.
Here is the problem
3. I want to set the originator as a URL eg
www.myco.com If I do this the Sender on the
phone is displayed as the VASP account used on
the Now.sms box

Please Help.

An MMS originator address needs to be a phone number or an e-mail address. A URL is not a valid originator address.

I'd suggest something like website@www.myco.com as an alternative.
