Hi all,

I have without luck tried to defer sending text messages from Kannel using the 
deferred HTTP GET parameter. The messages are sent off immediately.
My GET request looks like this:

http://XXXXX:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=XXX&password=XXXX&to=XXX&deferred=10&text=Deferred

According to the user guide the deferred parameter should be in minutes, but 
other places I have seen people using the format YYMMDDhhmmsstnnp or 
YYYY-MM-DD,hh:mm but they did not work either. 
Looking through the log files for Kannel it does mention the defer parameter at 
all: (Just to test, the validity HTTP GET parameter is used)

The SMSC is a Siemens MC 35i modem and I suspect, from what I can read in other 
posts, that the problem is connected to the SMSC, since Kannel just forward the 
content of the parameter to the modem. Can anyone confirm me in that? And 
secondly if that is the case, does anybody know how to fix this issue when 
Kannel is connected to a modem and using AT commands (could I send another 
init-string)?

**Below is the log files and my conf file.

The log for sending one message is (Bearerbox):
