We had that same problem with a provider that uses the CMG SMSC with an SMPP protocol. if the protocol version is set to 3.4, then the SMSC will send out the content of the message in message_payload. setting the interface version to 3.3 will for the SMSC to send only 3.3 compatible fields which Kannel can handle. this shouldn't cause any problems as Kannel does not implement any v3.4 extension anyway.
We need to fix the SMPP module, or write a new one, that will support the optional fields of v3.4 - but as the describeed solution works, we are not in any hurry. -- Oded Arbel m-Wise mobile solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-9-9581711 (116) +972-67-340014 ::..
