Hello,

Just to be clear:

Do I need a mobile phone connected to my PC to send/receive SMS and a internet connection which provides an externally accessible unique IP adress?

In fact, I manage to send MMS but the recipient mobile doesn't manage to receive it, but I think it receives the notification. As I use my company internet connection, I may not have an externally accessible unique IP adress, don't you think?

Thanks

In fact, I have another question:

If I use the operator MMSC and if I send an MMS via the web interface the recipient phone will receive the notification and the content of the MMS is in the MMSC of the operator, isn't it? So I don't need an externally accessible unique IP adress, do I?

Hi Fabien,

Sorry I wasn't here to respond quicker.

If you configure NowSMS to deliver messages via an operator MMSC (such as a GPRS modem connection where you configure the GPRS APN and URL of the operator MMSC), then the notification will be generated by the operator MMSC and the dynamically generated URL will be hosted by the operator MMSC.

You are correct, in that type of configuration, you do not need an externally accessible unique IP address.
