Regarding the protocol-dependant priority, at least in my own experience no carrier in the world would honor it.
Carriers don't usually let third parties to set the priority of messages on their platform (which makes a lot of sense, or all of us would be setting the highest priority for our messages otherwise). I've never encountered one that does, and I've worked with my share of them ;) Regards, Alex 2010/9/3 Nikos Balkanas <[email protected]> > Hi, > > I am not sure how that priority is used, but seems to be only for the > SM/ASI driver. kannel for its own internal queues has highest priority 3. > Having said that, there is also a protocol dependent priority which is > transmitted to the smsc.
