I have a Multitech GSM USB modem with a rogers sim in it. I have everything else working: I can send/receive SMS I can send MMS I want everything to go through the modem and use the carrier's MMSC. I have read many threads in this forum and have not found a solution. I have tried sending an MMS from a handset and also from the system to itself and neither work. When I used a cingular sim I was able to receive 2 SMS's each I sent it an MMS although it still didn't receive the MMS. With Rogers, I don't receive any notice at all. | ||||

I've used another Rogers sim and I'm having a bit more luck. I'm receiving 2 binary SMS messages each time I send the system an MMS but it's not retrieving them. Here are the last 2 messages: 15:58:52,+7030,Binary,4F828A4F8A2370409D5A249C9C97276170706C69636174696F6E2F766E 642E7761702E6D6D732D6D657373616765400D9C212F8A348A6F24E4303031153031363061633037 31656135653534351531400D2080E340353134373831363839362F545950453D504C4D4E40E32040 0A408F24358E9597408A482515459D687474703A2F2F726F676572732D7265,+1514xxxxxxx 15:58:56,+7030,Binary,4F828A4F8A2370409D5A24247472696576652E73756E322E6C69676874 737572662E6E65743A38302F3F6D736769643D303031153031363061633037316561356535343515 31267573657249643D313333373135383440,+1514xxxxxxx | ||||

I don't know what's going on, but on several recent incidents we have seen corrupt MMS notification messages being received from Multitech modems. I don't know if it is a specific firmware issue or what. However, our tests have shown that the bytes in the received binary messages are corrupted. We even had a user test by sending a binary message out from NowSMS, and we compared the received message, which was hopelessly corrupted. If you change the "SMS Message Storage" setting to be "Direct to Modem", you will get further. Our tests show that the messages are only corrupted if the modem saves the message to the SIM card (I don't think that modem supports saving to device memory). If the modem is routing the received message directly over the modem interface, then it does not get corrupted. However, there is still a problem. If a notification is received while NowSMS has an active GPRS connection to retrieve the MMS message content, the modem will save the notification to the SIM, and it will be corrupted. You may want to check to see if there is any updated firmware available for your modem. We have not had any contact with Multitech regarding this issue, but we have seen it occur with several customers in the past few months. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||
