NowSMS Lite (Single Modem Edition):  This edition is designed for simplified installation and setup. This edition supports sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages via a single GSM modem or Android phone only. NowSMS Lite can be updated to other editions by purchasing a license upgrade.

NowSMS Cloud Edition: This is a hosted version of the Modem Edition. For a small monthly fee, we provision a NowSMS server, accessible via a unique secure SSL/TLS enabled web address. You configure one or more Android phones to connect to this cloud server. All messages are sent and received via the Android phone(s). No additional service provider subscriptions are required. The Android phone requires a standard SIM card that has been activated with a messaging plan appropriate for your messaging requirements. SMS and MMS messages can be sent and received via a web interface or via e-mail. Applications can send and receive SMS and MMS messages using standard protocols, such as HTTP and SMPP, or using API examples for Java, PHP, .NET or command-line interfaces.
