Good day.

I can send sms via sendsms on a standard numbers (+7906XXXXXXX) 11 digits but I can not sent on 6 digits numbers, this is so called local nimbers. I tried to use "s" befor numbers but it seems that this is not a short numbers so sending sms on sXXXXXX was failed.

I can send sms on 6-digit numbers by phone. How to send sms by the smsd ?

Use a header To_TOA: national in message file with those numbers, or define international prefixes as described here: Using Type Of Address selection.

I tried to use

international_prefixes = 33

and then

national_prefixes = 33

in config file but command "sendsms 330xxx" failed in both cases.

of course "sendsms 33XXXX test" does not work (not empty sms).

If you use national_prefixes = 33, do not use international_prefixes at the same time.

Have you tried to use a header To_TOA: national in SMS file?

I did not use both variables at the same time.

Now I just tried to form SMS file by hands and copied it to outgoing dir. File content was:

----------<cut>-----------
To: 33xxxx
To_TOA: national

Hello, this is the sms.

There was no success. smsd_trouble.log messages were :

I suspect that something wrong with operator ...

Yes, this is operator problem. Now I can not to send SMS on this 6-digits number but several time ago it was possible.

Beeline TechSupport said that number must be in 11-digits format and there in no other way to send sms on 6-digits number .

I tried to send from beeline phone and tele2 modem (tele2 is on the smstools). I did not ask tele2 support but I think that they will answer the same.

MTS has a table of prefixes:

http://www.tomsk.mts.ru/help/action_sim/city_phone_number/

Is any possibility to use such data to automate number correctin (short to 11-digit) in smstools ?

I do not want to write my own scripts if there are other ready to use features :-).

SMSTools has no built in features for this kind of conversion, and as far as I know, there is no ready made external script for it available.

You could to use a checkhandler. Every time when a message is picked up from the outgoing directory, it can be checked and modified by checkhandler. Just create a script or program which checks the format of destination number, and modifies it as required.

From the table it can be seen that 33-xx-xx should be converted to 913-853-xx-xx, but it's not a 11 digit number. Perhaps it should be prefixed with 7, and then it's an international number. If this is the case, you do not need to use any To_TOA headers, or xxx_prefixes settings.

Ok. Tanks for right direction :-).

Here are scripts modified and copy-pasted from some sources (seems work):
