What MM7 stack does NowSMS v2006 use?
MM7 v5 or MM7 v6? Thanks.

Hi,

We try to be flexible. Allowing you to configure versions for each MM7 connection.

Generally speaking we support Rel 5 MM7 1.0 thru Rel 6 MM7 1.3.

It's not a clear-cut issue of just differences between Rel 5 and Rel 6. Rel 5 1.0 and 1.1 have some fairly significant differences compared to later versions.

I can't remember which MMSC vendor only supports Rel 5 1.0 or 1.1 ... I think it's Comverse. That's the only case that I've seen where this version number is particularly significant.

Of course, there are other MMSC vendors that have their own bastardised versions of MM7 which don't adhere to the 3GPP specs. There are configuration options in NowSMS to use the non-standard flavors from Ericsson, AnnyWay (Materna) and LogicaCMG.
