Hello all,

We have recently switch mobile providers and I got a new SIM card for the 3G dongle I was using for the SMS Server.
Since switching SIM's (Previously BT on the vodafone network, now on O2) smstools is not working properly.

I have gnokii installed and I am able to send messages through the cli command:

echo "Hello World" | gnokii --sendsms +44712345678

Here are a couple of gnokii outputs for you:
gnokii –identify

GNOKII Version 0.6.30 IMEI : 358108020386016 Manufacturer : huawei No flags section in the config file. Model : E17X Product name : E17X Revision : 11.311.05.01.00

Gnokii –monitor once

GNOKII Version 0.6.30 Entering monitor mode... Network: Cellnet / O2, United Kingdom (234 10) LAC: 553a (21818), CellID: 000029fd (10749) RFLevel: 11 Battery: 0 Power Source: No battery SIM: Used 0, Free 500 Phone: Used 0, Free 100 DC: Used 10, Free 0 EN: Used 4, Free 46 FD: Used 0, Free 20 LD: Used 0, Free 5 MC: Used 0, Free 10 ON: Used 0, Free 3 RC: Used 0, Free 10 SMS Messages: Unread 0, Number 1 CALL0: IDLE CALL1: IDLE Leaving monitor mode...

Gnokii –getsmsc

GNOKII Version 0.6.30
No. 1: "Set 1" (default name)
SMS center number is +447802000332
No default recipient number is defined
Messages sent as Text
Message validity is Maximum time
Error: The given memory location is invalid.

echo "This is a test message" | gnokii --sendsms +447[MY NUMBER] GNOKII Version 0.6.30 Send succeeded with reference 227!

I have build a bit of frontend to this with two aspects:

1. php frontend to send adhoc messges to our customers with a sql lookup
2. sql lookup for all patients with an appointment in 2 days get a message with a valid mobile number

When I try and send a message, it appears in /var/spool/sms/outgoing ok.
Moves to /var/spool/sms/checked ok

Runs three times and errors with the very helpful Error 500!
After that goes into /var/spool/sms/failed.

Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated. Just very confused as gnokii can send, but smstools cant!

Thanks in advance
Dan

As an adendum, this is the smsd.log output:
