1.) The equipment that you need will depend on how you connect to the operator. If you can get an MM7 (or EAIF or SMTP) account with your mobile operator, then no special equipment would be needed because everything happens over TCP/IP. 2.) Your server communicates with NowSMS over HTTP. Basically, this is known as server-to-server communication, where scripts running on your web server issue HTTP requests to another web server (the other web server being NowSMS, which can either be running on the same PC or a different PC). The simplest way to send an MMS message is to use our "URL Submission" technique, which is described at the following link: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages_URL.htm That link starts off talking about performing an HTTP POST of your content. But toward the bottom, it mentions an altenative HTTP GET approach which tells NowSMS to fetch the content from another web server. The HTTP GET approach is the simplest approach. Alternatively, if you are using PHP on your web server, we do have a PHP script that is quite simple to use: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/1113.html There's also a Java example: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/1360.html With some more helpful info on that example: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/6473.html 3.) That depends on your operator. You need to have an EAIF or MM7 account with your operator to do reverse charging. 4.) Getting the account setup with your operator is frequently the most difficult part. | |||
