Hello Malcolm,

The message board will not let me add a message to my previous thread so I've started a new one. Let's try this again.

The MMS Notification sent from the NowSMS web interface to the modem was received and the MMS content was downloaded and placed in the MMS-IN directory. I'm curious as to why you suspected this would work.

After adding the CommandPostInit1=AT+CGATT=1 line to SMSGW.INI as described in the thread you mentioned, the modem started to behave erratically. Sometimes the AT+CGATT=1 command would fail with an unknown error (error #100). Other times it would succeed but cause other commands (i.e., AT+CMGS) to produce busy errors (error #535).

Even with the above troubles, we were able to receive a single MMS message. Once. We tried numerous times using different content to ensure that the messages weren't being marked as duplicates. However, we were never able to receive another message - either from another mobile or via the NowSMS web interface.

This behaviour merits further investigation on our part but I am hesitant to invest more time in the MultiTech EDGE modem. We are going give the Sierra Wireless AirCard (750 or 860) a try.

Besides the MultiTech line, what modems are other Rogers subscribers using with NowSMS? Other NowSMS users on Rogers please feel free to comment :-)

Thanks,
