When trying to send MMS, I get an error saying: "unable to fetch URL: http://192.118.11.55/20051101/23/4367CD4Ea.MMS " The ip in the link reproted by the error, is the ip I put as the gateway ip. I understand that Now SMS gateway needs a global ip, in order to upload the MMS file. Where do I put such an IP? Where is the "Local Host Name or IP Address" field I need to put in my ip address? I changed the windows hosts file, to include the IP address. Now I am able to send an MMS message successfully, but the mobile does not receive anything. Thanks for any help given | |||

To verify that your NowSMS server is accessible with the "Local Host Name or IP Address" setting that you are using, try sending a "Multimedia WAP Push" instead. If you receive the push, but can't access the content, then this suggests that the NowSMS server is not accessible via the IP address or host name that you have configured. If you receive the push and can access the content, but still can't send an MMS ... then please see http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm. The most likely scenario is that your mobile operator blocks MMS messages from external MMSCs. In that case, the only alternatives are multimedia WAP Push, or sending MMS messages via the operator MMSC over GPRS. More info is available at this link. If you still have questions, please reply back. -bn | |||

Thanks. The WAP push is not received at the mobile side. Does it mean that the operator blocks WAP push? If this is the case, Can I use the operator MMSC? | |||

I think the information I put is somehow misleading. When I send WAP push, specifying no WAP URL, the push msg is received. However, putting WAP URL, I see no msg received at the mobile side. MMS is still not working at all (with or w/o attachment). | |||
