I can reliably send SMS messages with Kannel to certain mobile phones but it fails for others. However, if we use gnokii with the same modem, it can successfully send an SMS message to the phones that are failing with Kannel.
I am using Kannel 1.4.3 under Fedora 12. The modem is a Wavecom Fastrack Supreme 20. Of the 10 phones we have tested, all show up in the Kannel log when they send a text message. However, only 5 receive responses from Kannel (we have a PHP autoresponder). These 5 receive Kannel responses consistently. The other 5 phones never receive the response from Kannel. At first we thought it might be a problem with the AT&T SIM card, however, each of these phones can be contacted from the Wavecom modem if we utilize the gnokii software. We have the log level at debug and the Kannel log does not indicate any obvious errors. Can you think of anything we can try to get Kannel working reliably? Can you think of a reason why gnokii can successfully send a text message to these mobile phone, yet Kannel fails. Its curious given both packages use the same OS, USB connection, same modem, and same SIM card.
