latest patch for NowSMS 2006 increases the

messages to an operator MMSC using MM7, MM4 or
EAIF.
This thread on the discussion board explains the new

| NowSMS and 3G Modems |
| |
The configuration dialogs in NowSMS make frequent

| MMS Virus Issues Revisited |
| |
In the past year, since the release of the feature
that could be used to help prevent the spread of
MMS viruses when NowSMS is used as the MMSC, we
have re-evaluated the technique that was originally
introduced in NowSMS v5.51b (March 2005).
While the technique did help prevent the spread of a
virus being distributed via MMS, it did not consider
that most of these types of viruses are spread via
multiple protocols. Many mobile viruses attempt to
spread via Bluetooth, with MMS used as a secondary
channel ...
