hi nowsms,
I have downloaded Now SMS/MMS gateway to send MMS msgs from my PC to Cell phone.

Am from Karantaka, India and my service provider is Airtel.

I like to know if NOW SMS/MMS will support "Airtel" Service Provider.

Thanx in advance

NowSMS is not a service provider, so you need SMS connectivity before you can send any messages.

Please see the following link for more detail about how MMS works:

http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm

If your mobile operator is open to external MMSCs, then you can send MMS using NowSMS in "direct delivery" mode, where NowSMS acts as an MMSC and sends out MMS notifications over SMS.

If your mobile operator is not open to external MMSCs, then you can use a GSM/GPRS modem with NowSMS to send MMS messages through the operator MMSC.

Someone is trying to work with the a GPRS modem to connect to the Airtel service on the following thread (I'm sure it will work in the end, it is just a question of getting the settings right, as they are different for each operator):

NowSMS is not a service provider, so you need SMS connectivity before you can send any messages.

The Now SMS/MMS Gateway is a software product. NowSMS is not a bulk SMS service provider, and it is not a replacement for an SMS service provider. You will need a subscription to an SMS service provider, or a GSM modem, in order to send messages with NowSMS.

The Now SMS/MMS Gateway is a middleware tool for SMS, which among other features, can be used to manage connections to one or more service providers; or to manage receiving SMS messages; or to perform message formatting for advanced message types such as WAP push, MMS, etc.
