Hang on...isn't the message just a by product of the operators
recognising the call wasn't answered, so they send the SMS? And even
so, sometimes there is no message so the handset just shows "missed
call" with no SMS. They are "free" because the caller drops the call
just in time, i.e. after 1 ring exactly. So the question is how would
you do this in Kannel please?
