We are setting up NowSMS (version v5.5.1b) to route imcoing sms from a GPRS modem to a SMPP client and MMS to a MM7 application. SMS routing is working fine. However it seems to me that NowSMS always routes the incoming MMS (or rather mms notification) to the SMPP client (instead of downloads the MMS and routes it to our MM7 application).

A search on the NowSMS forums indicates that a similar problem in v2006?:

I wonder whether the patch released above can be applied to v5.5?

Hi,

No, that patch won't work with older versions. It updates a main EXE.

You'd be better off getting the latest version (especially if you are just now setting this up?).

The only suggestion I would have is that you might be able to make it work with a convoluted setup.

Don't route the received SMS directly to the SMPP client. Route the messages to a 2-way command. Have the 2-way command be a URL that submits the message back into NowSMS addressed to a new recipient phone number where that recipient number is routed to the SMPP client (e.g., http://nowsms:port/?PhoneNumber=SMPPNumber&Sender=@@SENDER@@&Text=@@TEXT@@).

This way the MMS notifications would get processed as normal ... and the regular text SMS would go to the 2-way command processor ... which submits them back to NowSMS to be routed to the SMPP client.
