Has anyone else had difficulty manipulating the Message Waiting
Indicator on AT&T connected mobile phones in the US?  

I can reliably manipulate the MWI for US-based T-Mobile phones, but when
I try to raise the MWI on AT&T phones, nothing happens.  Yes, I can send
'ordinary' text messages to the same AT&T phones without issue but when
I send the specially formatted message to raise the MWI, nothing ever
happens.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a known issue
where AT&T is blocking these messages if they come from 'outsiders' like
me?  In other words, have they locked down that feature becasue they
want to be the only ones able to manipulate the MWI?  

-OR-
Is there just a trick to it that I'm not aware of required by that
specific network network?  For example a specific 'from' number or some
other parameter.  Can anyone give me guidance?

Thank you!
I really appreciate any help that anyone could give me.

-Karl
