Hi, The MMSC can send messages to a real phone without any problem (that is what it designed for) ... but simulators are another story. See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for an explanation of how MMS works. Where the problem occurs with simulators is that the first step of the MMS delivery process is normally initiated by an MMS notification message that is delivered to the handset via WAP Push over SMS. SMS is not a TCP/IP based protocol. So there is no standard TCP/IP based interface for delivering an SMS message to a simulator. WAP Push can also operate over TCP/IP (actually UDP/IP) ... but few simulators support it. See the following thread for more information: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/4184.html Especially important in that other thread is to use the NETSTAT command to determine if the simulator is listening to UDP port 2948. If the simulator is not, then there is 0% chance of it working, because the simulator is not listening for WAP Push over IP. -bn | ||||||

Thanks very much!!! And I also want to know if I don't config the SMSC, may I can send a PUSH message to a PC? Second, If I config the SMSC, I send the push message must use the interface? | ||||||

NowSMS will complain if no SMSC interface is defined. But it will still work and you can send WAP push to an IP address by specifying an IP addr instead of a phone number as the push recipient. Or for MMS, use the table to map phone number to IP as defined in above referenced thread. To avoid the complaining about no SMSC interface, you can define a dummy by defining an HTTP SMSC pointing to any web server. If NowSMS had a message to send it would make a request to the configured web server but nothing would happen. -bn | ||||||

Got it to at least gen the WAPDEBUG. Seems Cingular int he US does not allow connectivity via GPRS for MMS connections, or the WAP Gateay IP is different on the GPRS network, as I ran Ethereal and did Test Connections while on that network, and would never receive a response packet back. So it is set to use the MODEM Connection and Sierra Modem in the MMSC Routing. With this configuration TEST CONNECTION WORKS, and a get a WAPDEBUG, but still no receipt of the MMS. Here are the 3 log files.
