Both Cellfind and Nashua Mobile subscribers can browse Cellfind’s Messaging Portal and gain more insight into
our communication offerings and capabilities.

SDK & Web service Subscribers
Direct Web Service integration:
Should you be connecting directly to the Nashua Mobile MPG web service, you would need to change your
application to no longer connect to https://mpg.nashuamobile.com/csp/mpg/MPG.Webservice.cls , but rather to
https://www.cellfindportal.co.za/mpgproxy/service.asmx when sending and receiving messages.
SDK integration:
If your organisation is making use of the SDK component, provided by Nashua Mobile, you would need to
implement the following change in your configuration file;
Open the MPGCLIENTSDK.ini file (situated in the either your C:\WINNT or C:\WINDOWS directory) and ensure
that the URL property is changed to point to:
https://www.cellfindportal.co.za/mpgproxy/service.asmx as
https://mpg.nashuamobile.com/csp/mpg/MPG.Webservice.cls will no longer be supported going forward.
