Some German providers offer sending status reports by *T# and *N# in front of the message text. These strings have to be followed by a space. The receiver then says a space as first char in the SMS.

Example (_ is space at beginning of the SMS):


When using smstools, the SMS gets sent with the leading *N#, so the receiver actually sees *N# Hello, how are you?

It seems to be converted to normal text - is this some kind of custom header?
Is it possible to send these control strings via smstools?

Best regards,
