To perform direct delivery of an MMS, your PC would need to be directly accessible via the internet. (Because with MMS direct delivery, NowSMS acts as an MMSC, and the recipient mobile must be able to connect back to the NowSMS MMSC to retrieve the message content.)

So that wouldn't be possible in your environment, since you connect via a proxy.

But you can configure NowSMS v5.0 to send MMS over a GPRS connection through an operator MMSC.

See the following link for documentation on making this type of connection:

These threads also talk about this type of configuration:

I have no idea.

You can't send an MMS message to a WAP gateway ... and MMS message gets sent to an MMS client.

The first stage of MMS message delivery is that an "m-notification.ind" message is sent to the recipient. This is encapsulated in a WAP push message that is usually sent over SMS (but could be sent over IP to UDP port 2948).

When the MMS client receives this notification message, it needs to fetch a URL referenced in the notification to get the MMS message content. In a typical mobile phone, the MMS client initiates a GPRS connection, connects to a WAP gateway, and fetches the MMS message content URL over GPRS and WAP.

Without a device that has an MMS client, I don't expect you to be able to get very far.
