Good morning,

For the last 2 weeks, I have been trying to retrieve MMS messages with my Wavecom Fastrack Supreme 20 GPRS modem. I am successfully able to send and receive SMS messages, but, unfortunately, I am unable to receive MMS messages.

I am currently using Rogers, in Canada, as a service provider. Similar to the situation described by David MacKay in the below-linked thread, I am having the same problems:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/19918.html

I have also attempted to use the Ozeki Message Server. Unfortunately, I experience the same issue---just 1 message arrives, and then no more. This leads me to believe, as mentioned in the thread, this is, indeed, a service provider issue.

As I am interested in purchasing NowSMS for my project, I would like to ask if there is there a known fix or patch for this issue.

Best regards

Unfortunately I have not heard anything more about this particular issue.

I do have one idea, however. Try changing the WAP gateway IP address setting to:

http://172.25.0.107:8080

The above setting tells NowSMS to connect to the proxy in HTTP/WAP2 mode, and it is possible that this might trigger some different behaviour on the operator end.

And try spoofing the User-Agent and Profile headers as described in that other thread.
