Hi!, good day to all, I have now a SMS Tools System which is i can automatically reply to sender, but i cant send message to a number that have 3 to 4 digits, example i need to send a message to 888 my message was fall into failed. My question is how can i send message to those number like 888. I know there is way to solve this problem but i don't know how to do it. Any piece of information will be appreciated thank you..

There is a From_TOA defined in the message files. Check what kind of values it has with normal messages and messages from like 888.

As you already have an eventhandler to create a reply, change the code to include something like this:



This script (which is not complete and not tested) will check the Type Of Address and will use "unknown" TOA for short numbers and international TOA for other numbers. Messages with an alphanumeric TOA are ignored because those cannot be replied (for example From: Saunalahti, From_TOA: D0 alphanumeric, unknown).

You can also check if the number starts with your country code: if it does not, use s prefix when sending an answer.

SMS file uses email style format. First there are header lines, as many as required. After the first empty line, rest of a file belongs to the message body.

You should use To: s888.

When you receive a message from 6390850... or from 888, the script should create REPLY_TO variable with a correct format. Just send your return message to that number.

Are you currently using an eventhandler, anyway?

Take a look at this post. It contains an eventhandler code which will take a number from the SMS and then forwards a message to that number. It's near to what you are needing, if I have understood your question correctly .

Thank you for your quick response and yes i have already event handler which is automatically reply to those user who register and request their needs on our services, i will comeback here after tried this option thank you!.

I have fixed the script, it had a typo when testing for 'alphanumeric'
