Dears, I already added several questions on the nowsms discussion board, but without any reply. we have a licensed nowsms version 09.03.2006 and we are planning to let it work as MMSC. Please find the steps that I already did to try to send an MMS notification to my mobile: 1. Activate MMSC service 2. HTTP port number: 8181 3. SMTP port number: 25 4. P address: (all available) 5. Local host name or IP address: 78.136.31.86 (which is the server’s real IP) On the handset side, I did the following: 1. Added new Access point: Nowsms 2. Data bearer: packet data 3. Access point name: 78.136.31.86 4. Username and password: none 5. Authentication: normal Now I tried to send MMS notification thru the nowsms to my device: I opened the nowsms web interface and entered my phone number, a sender name, and the link which is the path of the mp3 file located in the wwwroot. I received the following error: unable to fetch URL for MMS using nowsms. Can you please help me fix this issue? | |||

It sounds like NowSMS was not able to fetch the URL that you gave it. Make sure that the URL is valid (and it needs to be an http:// format URL, it can't be a file:// URL). It also sounds like you are trying to use the "Send MMS Notification" web page ... which requires a pre-compiled MMS message in the URL. You probably want to use "Send MMS Message" instead. | |||

Hi Kamel, It is likely that your mobile operator does not allow "Direct Delivery" from external MMSCs. See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for an overview of how MMS works, and why this is an issue. Basically, the alternative is to use a GSM/GPRS modem, and configure NowSMS to send MMS messages via the operator MMSC. The above link will have some more information about how to configure this ... it involves defining a link under "MMSC Routing". -bn | |||
