When an operator splits mms messages, nowmms cannot download the message. I dont know why they split it. Maybe because of the size.

Heres is a bite of the log:

Hi Lars,

I don't understand.

This is an MMS message notification that is coming into NowSMS?

Almost every operator system that I have seen always splits the notification over 2 messages. That is perfectly normal, practically expected.

But I don't understand the context of the above log. It doesn't look like it is in SMS format ... although maybe it is SMS with the UDH stripped.

It would be more helpful to see a debug log from NowSMS on this.

We'd probably want to see the SMSDEBUG.LOG, as that would show the SMS messages being processed on they are received. And the UDH headers should tell us that they are a concatenated message.

Maybe there is something unusual about the UDH headers from this particular system?
