>From phone:

If the message starts with a number, it uses octet counting framing and the 
number is the number of octets in the frame. Now look at your failing messages

that the phone system may have issues with octect-counted
framing, but the same symptom occurs when using telnet.  If telnet is a
valid test then the actual message text seems to be causing an issue.  The
debug log from the test is available here:

My telnet test sent the following lines:

The first 5 lines are logged ok, but the 6th line causes the octet-counter
framing error:
3309.688933361:7ffe54db5700: TCP Message with octet-counter, size
2011.
3309.688958730:7ffe54db5700: Called LogError, msg: Framing Error in received
TCP message: delimiter is not SP but has ASCII value 47.

The last 4 lines result in only:
