Well, the MC35 is our modem of choice for the Now SMS/MMS Gateway as it works well in both SMS and GPRS modes. (The only modem that we like better is the Sierra Wireless Aircard 750 which is a PC card. The Aircard is a bit tempermental to setup, but we like it because it can do SMS and GPRS simultaneously which is nice if you are going to be receiving MMS as well as sending it.)

Here are links that explain how MMS works:

The "Quick Start Guide" for NowSMS focuses on an MMS setup where "direct delivery" is used for MMS (best to work through it step by step and make sure all of the SMS functions are setup correctly before you jump to MMS):

Configuring NowSMS to send MMS messages through an operator MMSC over GPRS is described in the following link:

If you search the discussion board on MC35, you may find some other information specific to the MC35.
