NowSMS
NowSMS is a content delivery server for SMS and MMS that can serve as a message hub, operator MMSC, SMPP proxy, email gateway, and two-way application interface. It connects to SMS services through SMPP, HTTP, UCP/EMI, CIMD2, GSM modems, or Android phones, and supports MMS protocols MM1, MM3, MM4, MM7, and EAIF. Messages can be routed among SMS connections by destination patterns for least-cost routing. Applications can connect through HTTP, SMPP, SMTP, or MM7; sample APIs are available for PHP, Java, and command-line use. Its MMSC supports OMA MMS versions 1.0–1.3 and 3GPP MMS versions 5.3.0–6.13.0, with content adaptation and conversion. NowSMS is listed for Android, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted use. The Modem Edition costs £370, paid once, and server software has a free 30-day trial. Sending messages requires 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.
