hi...
i'm trying to set up the now sms gateway as an operator MMSC to send a MMS Message (i use the 60 days trial version).
i set up port "8080" for the MMSC Http port number, Local Hostname or ip add is "127.0.0.1".
For Default Route in MMSC Routing, i use MM1 protocol and operator setting is Telkomsel (indonesia).
i've successful test my connection.

for web interface, i use port 8800 and i'm using IIS for web server in default port and ip address (port 80 & ip add : 127.0.0.1)..

i got some problem
1. when i try to send a MMS Message using Web menu interface, for the content field, i try to send a .mms file.
the message cannot be received. i just receive an indicator in my mobile phone that there is a message
(not a notification message) but i can't receive the MMS Message. the same indicator also shown if i send
mms messages normally (phone to phone directly) and i can receive the mms.
2. when i try to send mms using http get in vb.net. i get the same problem. there is some code i use..

Dim NowSMSServer = "http://127.0.0.1:8800/"
Dim usertelp As String = "+6281385005387"
Dim msgkirim As String = "hiks.gif" '--> image to send i store in the c:/inetpub/wwwroot/
Dim EncodedURL2 As String = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(usertelp)
Dim EncodedURLmsg As String = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(msgkirim)
Dim urlsemua As String
Dim urlMMSfrom As String = "Test"
Dim urlMMSSubject As String = "WARNING"
Dim urlMMSFile As String = "http://127.0.0.1/" + EncodedURLmsg
Dim urlsemua As String
urlsemua = NowSMSServer + "?PhoneNumber=" + EncodedURL2 + "&&MMSFrom=" + urlMMSfrom + "&&MMSSubject=" + urlMMSSubject + "&&MMSFile=" + urlMMSFile
' send mms
Get_request(urlsemua)


when i see the status in Program Files\NowSMS\MMSC-20060917.txt, i get this :

2006-09-17 23:39:03,SAR-+6281385005387-f4-2-2.req,LocalSystem,+6281385005387,OK -- Nokia 7610 USB,SubmitUser=localsystem-mmsc;Binary=1;DCS=F5;UDH=0B05040B8423F00003F40202;Dat a=32303036303931372F32332F43433141453133332E4D4D533F69643D2532623632383133383530 303533383700

i also see status in the SMSC tab, that statistic show me that i've send messages...i still confuse about it.

Hi,

The message is not getting routed out via MM1 over the GPRS modem.

The log file indicates that NowSMS is acting as an MMSC, and sending the MMS notification over GPRS. This will not work in most environments, as described in http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm.

It sounds like you have tried to configure things correctly by defining an MM1 over GPRS route under "MMSC Routing" and making that your "Default Route". Please verify those settings.

There is one other common configuration problem ... make sure that the phone number you are sending is not listed in the "MMSC Users" list. This list defines local users of the MMSC, so if a user is in the list, NowSMS will try to send to them as an MMSC, bypassing the default route.
