Hi Aldo, as you can see from the docs:
"This service grabs any SMS with two words and 'www' as the first
word, and then does an HTTP request to an URL which is taken from
the rest of the message. Any result is sent back to the phone
(or requester), but is truncated to the 160 characters that will
fit into an SMS message, naturally."
So, the problem you're facing is that kannel is trying to "parse" your
service answer as an SMS, and assuming it's an html, then kannel can't
convert this answer to an SMS hence the error SMS you're receiving.
To avoid this problem your service must not output any answer, then add
this variables to the sms-service group:
max-messages = 0
omit-empty = true
Hope this helps!
