Hi, We are using NowSMS/MMS Gateway version 2010.11.04. We would like to configure it such that it if an MMS message is not retrieved from the MMSC within 10 minutes, the MMSC will then convert the message to SMS, sending a text SMS message to the recipient. For that, we have done the following: 1. Create a VASPOUT called ConvertToSMS to route messages using "SMS With Web Link (Direct)". Here is its VASP.INI: [VASP] Protocol=SMSPush 2. And then add in MMSC.INI the following: [MMSC] UndeliverableRouteToSMS=ConvertToSMS UndeliverableRouteToSMSTimeout=10 We then tried to send MMS to a number which is turned off (to simulate a non delivery). We monitored all SMS going out from MMSC (SMS are posted to a special URL) to see when SMS would be sent to the recipient. We expected to see two SMSes sent within a space of 10 minutes. We saw the first SMS sent by MMSC during its attempt to deliver to recipient. However, we didn't see the second one even after waiting for more than 10 minutes. What has gone wrong in our situation? | |||

Hi Awal, The UndeliverableRouteToSMS feature is designed to work with "SMS with Web Link (code)" routes only. (When the guide at http://www.nowsms.com/mms-conversion-to-sms-with-web-link was written, this was the only "SMS with Web Link" option available, there were not separate "(code)" and "(direct)" options.) While we might be able to make a future update support either, the "code" option is better geared to person-to-person MMS because the operator can better customise the text of the SMS. The "direct" option is geared more toward content providers who want to push multimedia content. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
