Thanks Minh, I added this... split-chars = "#" under the sendsms-user as suggested and it worked like a charm :)
NB I was a little concerned that messages containing '#' would be truncated, but this is not an issue as '#' is a reserved character (ref http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding) and so becomes '%23' in the HTTP request to smsbox. So there's no unintended split.
