What it is
NowSMS is a multi-protocol server for delivering SMS and MMS messages. It can serve as a message hub or switch, mobile operator MMSC, SMPP proxy, email-to-message gateway, and two-way application enabler. SMS connections include SMPP, HTTP, UCP/EMI, CIMD2, GSM modems, and Android phones; MMS protocols include MM1, MM3, MM4, MM7, and EAIF. The system can route messages among SMS connections by destination pattern for least-cost routing. Applications can connect through HTTP, SMPP, SMTP, and MM7, with sample APIs for PHP, Java, and command-line use. Its MMSC supports OMA MMS versions 1.0 through 1.3 and 3GPP MMS versions 5.3.0 through 6.13.0, along with dynamic content adaptation and conversion. The Modem Edition costs £370, paid once. Server software has a free 30-day trial. Before it can send messages, it needs an SMS provider connection, GSM modem, or Android phone. Documentation, a PDF manual, and a discussion forum with free support for trial users are available. The Gateway Edition is aimed at service providers, corporate customers, developers, and testing services.
