moving onto the Cellfind Messaging Gateway.
The changes referred to herein are specific to the technical requirements that will guide subscribers around what
changes need to be made to connect to Cellfind’s Messaging Gateway in order to facilitate a smooth and
seamless handover.
Each section defines the required changes per submission method. Subscribers can refer to the relevant section
that pertains to their existing Nashua Mobile Solution and configurations.

ensure that you will not experience any down time on your services. Should your IT team require any technical
assistance with your configurations, please refer to the Support Details on the last page of this document.
Cellfind Messaging Gateway URL
Both Cellfind and Nashua Mobile subscribers can browse Cellfind’s Messaging Portal and gain more insight into
our communication offerings and capabilities.
Subscribers can access the Cellfind Messaging Portal via the following URL: https://www.cellfindportal.co.za
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.
