Hello,

Our US aggregator supports sending MMS via MM7 over SOAP/Web Services. A GSM modem is not used at all.

Does nowsms support this, and if so, how would it be configured?

Yes.

For general information, see this:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm

MM7 connections can be tricky to get configured initially, because you've got to get the URL correct, figure out what authentication parameters are required by the provider (some authenticate solely based on your IP, some use an "Authorization:" header which equates to our "Login Name" and "Password" parameters, some use a combination of "VASP ID", "VAS ID" and/or "Service Code" parameters). Then there are some different quirks of some of the different MM7 vendor implementations, different XML schema versions, etc.

To aid in troubleshooting the initial setup, I'd recommend enabling the MMSCDEBUG.LOG in NowSMS. This will show you what NowSMS is posting to the provider, and what response is coming back.
