One of our devs ran into a problem where the 'From' field of the MMS is being set to null if they type in a string such as 'NowSMS'. Why doesn't this simply leave the string in the from field? We support sending from email address to the phone, so we should be able to put non-numerical strings (e.g. email address) in the From field.

Hi Justin, I need to understand your configuration a little bit better. Are you submitting from the web interface? What if you put an e-mail address in there instead of an alpha text string? I suspect the issue is that "NowSMS" would not be a valid "From" field. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Yes, we're submitting from the NowSMS web interface. I don't think 'NowSMS' in the from field is invalid as far as the MMS specification is concerned. I seem to hit the same issue with 'NowSMS@foo.com' as well. Our developer says he used NowSMS at his last company and never hit this issue before, and thus was thrown for a loop trying to figure out what was going wrong in our parsing engine. Thanks, Justin | |||

Hi Justin, I just tried a quick test and using NowSMS as the "From" field resulted in the blank field that you describe. However, if instead I used NowSMS@foo.com, then that was used as the "From" field. I don't necessarily think that it makes sense for NowSMS to be changing the field to a blank field in this scenario. But I'm also not convinced that a literal string is legal. I believe it should be an e-mail address or a phone number. Try the "@foo.com" test again. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
