Hi Sajid, Please see http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for more information on how MMS works. The default mode for NowSMS to send MMS messages is as a "direct delivery MMSC". In this mode, NowSMS packages the MMS message as a URL, and sends an MMS notification message to the recipient phone over WAP Push/SMS. The recipient phone then connects back to retrieve the MMS message via the URL. In this case, the recipient phone would not be able to fetch anything from "http://localhost:880". In order for this to have a chance to work, the "Local Host Name or IP Address" setting would need to be a host name or IP address that is publicly accessible over the internet to allow a receiving device to connect to the NowSMS MMSC. Before you spend too much time trying to enable this type of connection ... refer back to the "How MMS Works" link above for more information and discussion. The short story is that most mobile operators do not allow MMS message delivery from external MMSCs, and will block this type of message delivery. The primary alternative for this is to send MMS messages using a GSM/GPRS modem, where NowSMS submits the message over the modem to the operator MMSC, and the operator MMSC delivers the MMS message. This is configured by defining an "MMSC Routing" for the modem, and defining this as the "Default Route". More information about this can be found in the "How MMS Works" link referenced above. -bn | ||||
