I have successfully configured NOWSMS to send MMS to another recipient. However the receiving party is unable to receive the incoming MMS. I have received a sms indicating the link to download the MMS but when I tried to download it, it states that the link cannot be found. What could be the problem? | ||||

See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm, it explains how MMS works, and the 2 different ways that NowSMS can be configured to send MMS messages. The default mode for NowSMS is to act as an MMSC. This means that NowSMS sends out a dynamically generated link for the content of the MMS message, and the receiving phone's MMS client must be able to connect back to the NowSMS server to be able to retrieve it. If they can't, then this either means that your NowSMS server is not accessible over the internet, or the MMS settings for the mobile operator do not allow external MMSCs. There is explanation of these issues in the link referenced above. -bn | ||||

This generally means that you're connecting via the wrong gateway or APN. Let me see the MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG, and advise what settings you are using for GPRS APN, WAP Gateway IP, and MMS Server URL. -bn | ||||

Please see attached for the log. GPRS APN: e-ideas WAP Gateway IP: 165.21.42.84 MMS Server URL: http://mms.singtel.com.sg:10021/mmsc
Thanks for your help! | ||||

I am attaching another log which is clearer.

Problem solved. It's a problem of the Server Address. I used the IP address instead of the actual URL. Thanks!! | ||||

Ok, great. Glad to see you were able to get it fixed. I can see that in the logs that it was trying to post to the IP of the WAP gateway, whereas the "Server Address" should be the "MMS Server URL". -bn | ||||
