Hi Community,
Is it possible to send SMS using alphanumeric characters as a sender address?
We tried it using an Open-Source SMS GW and it can send alphanumeric information in the sender address.
Unfortunately, the SMS sent through API was not received to the test phone and the logs below are seen in OSMO-MSC.
<000c> smpp_smsc.c:729 [entropy] Rx SUBMIT-SM (09170000023/1/1) <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 259 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times. <0017> sms_queue.c:155 Sending SMS 260 failed 0 times.
We also tried sending SMS with only Numeric information in the sender address and the SMS was received successfully by the test phone.
We can share the traces taken and the configurations used if needed.
TIA.

Yes it is, I do it all the time.

Yes, it looks like that is required for further analysis.
Maybe you could also send the msc's sms database, (which is the hlr database in the case of nitb) please make sure not to send sensitive info in there.

Ron,
In your trace "Failed SMS_Alphanumeric_Sender.pcap" you have:
a) the originator TON set to National (0x02). I use Alphanumeric (0x05)
b) the originator NPI set to ISDN (0x01). I use Unknown (0x00)
It obviously won't work with the first error, and IIRC the second was also needed, maybe not for all phones.

Thanks Keith for the information.
It helps us very well.
We were able to send Alphanumeric Characters in the Sender Address.
Thank you again!
