Dominique,

I'd suggest trying to send MMS with the modem first. (It's also a good idea to put the SIM that you are using in the modem into a MMS compatible mobile phone and verify that you can send/receive MMS using that SIM before you spend a lot of time troubleshooting things on the NowSMS side.)

Setting up NowSMS to send/receive MMS involves configuring NowSMS with the operator specific settings for MMS connectivity. Have you done this?

The following link describes this process:

As I said I am able
- to send MMS
- To send SMS
- To get SMS
I am using the configuration that use the operator mmsc to send the mms and use the mobile to get the mms. ( mm1 to send, and a wap connection to get the mms content once the notification mms have been received ).

The probleme is just that the modem does forward the mms notification message to the mmsc.
I think that I need to initialise the modem to forward binary message to the pc.
A friend of mime state that it did get the binary mms by running theses at command.. I will try, and hope that the mmsc does not 'reset' the modem during its init.

The AT commands that are needed are AT+CMGF=0|AT+CPMS="ME","ME","MT"|AT+CNMI=2,2,3,1,0
How can I configure smsnow to send this command during the init. Do I have to enter this on the init modem of the control panel of windows ?
Anyway I am continuing to search ....

Here some more information
I tried to send a binary sms using hyperterminal, and using my init string, I got it...
Using my init string I can also recevied the mms notification.

Using NowSms, since it use another connection string, it does not get the binary message, nor the mms notification message.

Take a look at the same attached file which summary my tests.

Dominique,

That is interesting.

Currently we only poll the modem for messages (we only take the notifications that tell us a new message has been received, but then use AT+CMGL to retrieve the message). This approach is required for most GSM phones to be used as modems.

We've been planning to add a configuration setting for direct delivery, but that hasn't happened yet. Unfortunately, it is more than just changing the init string.

But we have already done the design work on implementing this configuration setting ... and from your messages here, it appears that it is necessary for us to use this approach with the Nokia 30 ... so let me see if I can get our engineers working on an actual implementation.

I hope to have a follow-up within the week.

Dominique,

As a follow-up, I have sent, to your e-mail address, an updated version of one of the NowSMS components that should be able to work properly with this modem.
