Hi,
thank you for the great smstools.
I'm from germany. We only send sms to germany and i try to send the sms in national format.
If I send the message in national format I allways get the following error
ALARM 2011-07-08 08:39:24 3 SMS The modem answer was not OK: +CMS ERROR: 21 (Short message transfer rejected)

For example the phone number is 0174 ??????
If I send with 49174 ?????? it works.
I try to set
national_prefixes = 0

in /etc/smsd.conf without success
I also try to set To_TOA in my email2sms script
OUTFILE=$(mktemp /var/spool/sms/outgoing/smsgw.out.XXXXXX) echo "Queue:sms1" > $OUTFILE echo "To_TOA:national" >> $OUTFILE echo -ne "To:" >> $OUTFILE cat >> $OUTFILE

It does not work too.

What is wrong? Do I make a mistake?

Thank You for help.

Set loglevel to 7. Send one SMS and from the log take the PDU string (long string of digits). With this tool verify that the TOA is "national". Assuming that it was correctly "national", try to use a header "To_TOA: unknown". If it does not work, in your country national numbers cannot be used. In that case you have to use international format, or create a checkhandler which converts numbers from national format to international format.

Thank You, it is working.
I set "To_TOA: unknown". But why do I must set unknown and not "national"?

But now it does not work to send a sms with 49174. Is it possible to use both for my country?

Thank You for help.

There are differences in countries and service centers.

I will insert a setting national_toa_unknown = yes/no to the next version.

In the meanwhile, as you have installed smsd from sources, you could consider to modify the code:

In the pdu.c search "nf = NF_NATIONAL;". It's there three times. Change the first two lines to nf = NF_UNKNOWN;. Do not change the last one which is nf = NF_NATIONAL; // 1010 0001. Save, recompile and replace executable. After this national_prefixes = 0 should work.

Sending to number which starts with country code should work with international format which is a default. In this case do not set To_TOA.

When you receive messages, the format of number usually is international. And if you later will receive delivery reports, the format usually is international too. In this case international format could be used when sending messages, because handling of delivery reports is much easier when the format is the same.
