HI,

We are utilizing nowSMS gateway together with GSM modem in our application. we can successfully send a SMS message, but have problems while sending the MMS. The MMS message can be submitted, containing a .mms content file, but the mobile phone received nothing.
I attached the MMSC configuration file and debug log. Please help to find out where the problem lies in.
Thanks so much.

Hi Adam,

See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for a description of how MMS works. It gets a little technical, but it's some good background information.

In most situations, especially when using a GSM modem, you're going to want to configure NowSMS to send outbound MMS messages via the operator MMSC. (The default configuration for NowSMS is for NowSMS to act as the MMSC, which requires that the NowSMS server be able to accept inbound connections from the internet ... and is blocked by many mobile operators. More details about this in the link that I referenced above.)

What you're going to want to do is configure NowSMS to send outbound MMS messages via the operator MMSC using the GSM/GPRS modem (your modem needs to support GPRS or other packet data).

To configure this, you need to add an "MMSC Routing" definition with operator specific settings for your mobile operator, and make this the default route. (More details at http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm)
