At&t recently made a change to their network that blocks mobile originated WAP Push messages. Any attempt to send results in an error code 38. Is there another delivery method that I could configure in NOWSMS to deliver Push messages to a device on their network?

Sigh ... the things that mobile operators do because they think they are protecting their subscribers. You should feel safer, not inconvenienced. :-)

You can try different DCS values. NowSMS defaults to using DCS=F5, which is a binary message with explicit message class information set.

A WAP Push message is also valid if you use a generic binary DCS value of 4 (no message class information). To use this alternate value, edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMSGW] header, add BinaryDCS=4. Then restart the NowSMS server and see if this works.

That doesn't work, but i found that i can send WAP Push messages using the binary message option in Now SMS. Are there any other changes i can make to the WAP push tab that would emulate these settings and allow the WAP push tab to be used instead? Coding each message is a real pain.

This binary data sends successfully
UDH - 0605040B8423F0 PID – 1 DCS – F5

Binary data - 740601AE etc.........
