Could you please let me know if I can use nowsms api in order to do following things?

1. For example there are there phones A, B and C. Phone B is connected to the PC and the PC is using nowsms api. A will send one SMS to B using AT&T or any other US provider. Once SMS is received on phone B, nowsms will tell my application running on the PC that one SMS is received and based on the text of the SMS the application running on the PC will send one MMS to the phone C using nowsms api.

2. For example there are two phones A and B. Phone B is connected to the PC and the PC is using nowsms api. A will send one SMS to B using AT&T or any other US provider. Once SMS is received on phone B, nowsms will tell my application running on the PC that one SMS is received and based on the text of the SMS the application running on the PC will send one MMS to the phone B itself using nowsms api.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why you couldn't do this.

When the SMS message is received, NowSMS can be configured to pass the text of this message (and other information, such as the sender) to either a local executable program or a script running on a web server via HTTP. We refer to this as 2-way SMS ... more information on 2-way SMS at the following links:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm
http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4520.html

Sending an MMS from within a 2-way command would be accomplished by your application initiating a new request to the NowSMS server to send an MMS. More information on sending an MMS message via NowSMS can be found here:

Thanks Bryce for the information. I already have ordered GSM modem.

Do you have an example of a Java application receiving SMS using nowsms and sending MMS using nowsms? I could not find it on the documentation. Please reply ASAP as I have a deadline to meet.

Thanks.
