I want to send MMS to mobile through operator MMSC(maxis). I using SIemens TC35i GSM modem. However, I have the error message "Modem not response to GPRS command" when testing connection in MMS routing. When test in hyperterminal, AT+CGDCONT? return ERROR. What actually is the problem?

Do you perhaps have an older modem that only supports GSM ... not GPRS?

Support for the AT+CGDCONT command is required in order to specify which access point a GPRS connection should be directed toward.

Maybe is the modem problem. But from the technical paper provided with the modem, it is GPRS supported. =.=
I changed to Telit GM862-QUAD modem, the MMS works great. Now just left how to put it in my application. Is there any C# code for the MMS sending function to refer to?

Im sending the MMS through operator MMSC. So, in the HTTP POST what should I put in the username and password field?

I wish I had a good example. Essentially it is an HTTP file upload, as described here: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages_URL.htm

However, we don't have any examples for C# or any .NET examples ...

I'm guessing that you are referring to the HTTP POST to NowSMS?

If you are using the URL submission format, then this is an account defined in the "SMS Users" account list.

If you are using MM7 (or SMTP/MM4), then this is an account defined in the "MMSC VASP" account list.

If you are referring to the configuration of the MMSC definition in NowSMS, the "Login Name" and "Password" fields are associated with the "GPRS APN" definition, and you should use whatever values are defined by your operator (many do not require a username and password ... and if they do require them, it is not a user-specific value, it is the same for all users).

Thanks for the reply. I got the MMS function working in ASP.NET C# code. Now working on processing the receive SMS to send MMS. 1 question to ask: If I send the MMS using operator MMSC, without using the MMSC of NowSMS; do I need to start the MMSC service?

Yes. The MMSC service does need to be started.
