Hi

I am using clickatell for my smsc and want to be able to send MMS messages. the only problem is that clickatell's api needs a seperate URL (http api) to send an mms. Is there a way to set this up in nowsms?

the clickatell api docs show this as an example url to send an mms

http://api.clickatell.com/mms/ind_push.php?user=xxxx&api_id=xxxx&password=xxxx&t o=xxxx&fr
om=xxxx&mms_subject=xxxx&mms_class=xx&mms_expire=xxxx&mms_from=xxxx&mms_url=http :/
/xxxx.xx/xx.mms

and this to send an sms

http://api.clickatell.com/mms/ind_push.php?user=xxxx&api_id=xxxx&password=xxxx&t o=xxxx&fr
om=xxxx&mms_subject=xxxx&mms_class=xx&mms_expire=xxxx&mms_from=xxxx&mms_url=http :/
/xxxx.xx/xx.mms

please help me work this out

Thanks

Hi Dean,

I wouldn't suggest trying to use Clickatell's MMS notification interface.

Configure NowSMS to use the binary SMS template for Clickatell described in this old thread:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/136.html#POST403

I believe that still works ... at least I got a positive response back from someone who I sent that link to a couple of weeks ago.

Please note that sending an MMS notification in this manner will not work with all networks. Please see http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for an explanation of why (and the explanation applies whether you are using the binary template in NowSMS or Clickatell's MMS notification API).
