Well, I got my clickatell.com account setup, added credits, tested regular Text messaging, and it worked! Great! But now whenever I try to send out MMS message, I get routing errors from clickatell... NowSMS web tool sends out the message, clickatell sees the request, but it goes in as "Message sent with errors" When I check the details it tells me the following:

20-07-2006 16:47:10 20-07-2006 16:47:10 20-07-2006 16:47:10 1925595XXXX HTTP:XXXXXXX Routing error 629d28f755bdab546c8516baf4942336 0.00 4F0601AE02056A0045C60C03776861746865646F2E6E6F2D69702E6F72672F32303036303732302F 30372F30353434423230412E574D4C3F69643D313932353539353130343400010374657374202D20 5445535431000101

I gather that error is coming from a Clickatell log file?

I don't have any familiarity with their log file formats or what different error codes mean on their system.

However, my guess is that they do not support binary message delivery to the mobile phone that you are sending to.

Yup. That "1925595XXXX" refers to a recipient/destination phone number, right?

If I go to the Clickatell web site and check their coverage list, it tells me "(text only)" for practically all US destinations.

Unfortunately, the best way of sending MMS messages in the US is using a GPRS modem. See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for more information on how MMS works, and pointers to more information.
