Hi,

I have hooked up a GSM phone to nowsms to work as a modem for inbound MMS messages to be routed to my application.

How do i configure nowsms so that it will retrieve the mms messages from the phone. Is there any way to stop the phone from processing the MMS messages and instead forward it to nowsms?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Girish,

Generally speaking, if you want to be able to receive MMS messages in this fashion, you need a dedicated GSM/GPRS modem device, rather than a mobile phone.

The problem is that the MMS and WAP Push clients in the mobile phone always intercept these messages, and do not route them over the modem interface.

I haven't seen any GSM phones that when used as a modem, will route the MMS notifications over the GSM modem interface. But there are no such limitations when using a dedicated GSM/GPRS modem device.
