We are still evaluating nowsms. We love it, except...

We setup a php processing script to handle inbound MMS messages. We're using an option icon 322. At some random point today, the arguments to the php script stopped including the MMSFrom argument (the incoming phone number). Any idea why this might be? This was working fine for about a month. I can see the the incoming phone number in the MMSC log. I can see the phone number in the debug logs (I enabled) in the SMS portion. I do not see the incoming number in the mms debug logs.

While a re-install may fix this, the idea of having to randomly reinstall nowsms after we go to production, is not terribly appealing.

Hi Anthony,

What version of NowSMS are you running? Is it a current 2010 version?

The reason I ask is because I recall an issue last year where Orange UK made a change in their MMSC. When receiving an MMS message, there are two places where a "From" header can be present. In this particular case, one of the headers had an invalid value which was causing a problem. We had to make a change to address this last year.

Another potential issue ... in the "MMSC Routing" definition where your PHP script is defined to NowSMS, make sure that "Allow Sender Address Override" is checked. (This setting is off by default, but to be honest, 100% of the time you would want it checked when routing messages to a PHP script.)

The issue was that somehow "Allow Sender Address Override" had become unchecked. A vnc window open + a mouse click is the likely culprit.

We are running a 2010.2.09 version.

We are quite happy with the customer service for NowSMS.
