I don't think you will find the Vodafone number actually sends the
message. It receives the message for a Mobilenet phone OK, but fails to
deliver the message to a Mobilenet phone. I tried on a couple of
occasions with the same result.
That phone number looks like the Mobilenet number, but I use the TAP
protocol to 018018767 and that has (shhh...) no charge.
