Hello all, I've been trying to send mms through nowSMS from my PC. I found the commandline utility described in the link : http://blog.nowsms.com/2007/07/sending-mms-from-command-line.html But when I run the script using the commandline I get the following error : current_directory>\sendmms.vbs(325,3):The system can not locate the resource specified Any idea on wats wrong ? | |||

Hi, This error usually means that the script cannot connect to the server specified in the DestURL that is defined near the top of the script. The default value is: Const DestURL = "http://127.0.0.1:8800/?user=test&password=test" This assumes that NowSMS is installed and running on the same PC as the script using the default "port number for web interface" of 8800. If NowSMS is running on a different PC or a different port, then the script needs to be edited to point to the correct server. The script also uses a default username and password of "test". Those values should be changed to match a valid account name defined under "SMS Users" in your NowSMS installation. If it is not set to a valid account name, a similar error is displayed but with "Access is denied" instead of "The system cannot locate the resource specfied". -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Do you get an error when you check "run as service"? (Error 1067 perhaps? If so, it means that SMSGWS.EXE is missing. Old versions of ESET incorrectly block this file thinking it is a virus. Update your ESET virus signature file and run the NowSMS install again.) | |||

wow that was great help ! thanks ! one more question please... I had had run the nowSMS, and when I used the script to send a MMS, a message holding a link to the PC running nowSMS was delivered to the mobile. Also when I tried the web interface for sending MMS , a message from operator (Telenor in my case) was delivered to the mobile, pointing to a link at operator's mmsc was delivered to my mobile. I was wondering whether I could directly send MMS to a mobile (without this message pointing to a link being delivered) ? Is that possible? If yes then how ? | |||

Hi, Sending an MMS message via the web interface or via the script should yield the same results. (The script actually performs an automated web form submission.) Are you sure that one of the links was pointing to the operator MMSC? I'm guessing that both of the links were pointing to NowSMS. Let me explain... There are two different ways to configure NowSMS to send MMS messages using a GSM modem. The default configuration is for NowSMS to function as its own MMSC. However, this configuration is not recommended for installations with a GSM modem. (If you are curious read http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm.) Instead, you'll want to configure NowSMS to send message via the operator MMSC. There's a good description of how to configure this here: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/quickstartguide/NowSMSQuickStart3.pdf If the messages are still arriving as a link pointing to the operator MMSC ... remove the SIM from your modem and put it into a phone ... verify that you can send/receive MMS using that SIM card in a phone. It could also be a receive-side issue. Some mobile operators need to manually enable MMS reception for a phone. (Others automatically enable the first time a device sends an MMS message.) -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

yes I'm sure that the mms sent by using the script points to the oprators MMSC (mmstelenor.com.pk/mms/ specifically) and requires a pincode for retrieving the mms. Also the notification containing this link asks me to send sms to a number to retrieve MMS settings to directly receive the mms on my phone. Afterwards I have tried to send a mms manually to the same number, and I received it directly... So... the question remains: how do i send and receive mms directly on the phone ? | |||

Hmm...that does not logically make sense to me. What if you remove the SIM card from the modem and put it in a phone? Can you send an MMS ok using that SIM in a phone? Perhaps the operator's logic is confused and it is the sending SIM that has not been provisioned for sending MMS. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
