this is very well supported.

I think the easiest option is to send a SMS from a phone (to another
phone on osmonitb) and check the SMS messages in wireshark to determine
the numbering-plan / type-of-number from there.  Then add a route with
matching parameters, and it should end up matching from that point on.

The monday-to-be-publicly-announced user manuals contain a bit on that
regard, see chapter 13 of
http://ftp.osmocom.org/docs/latest/osmonitb-usermanual.pdf
as well as the smpp/esme node part of the auto-generated
http://ftp.osmocom.org/docs/latest/osmonitb-vty-reference.pdf

I think this might not even be possible at the moment, as only
prefix-routes and default routes are implemented.  so if you add a
prefix route for 1234, then 1234567 would still match.

Patches for single-number routes are welcome :)

> - route everything via SMPP which starts with a "1"

that's a prefix-route for '1'

I think we would also accept a patch that adds a catch-all numbering-plan /
type-of-number, if you think it is a useful feature to have.

Regards,
