[asterisk-users] sending an SMS via Asterisk?

[Per Jessen]

I've been googling and reading a lot, but I'm not getting any closer to
getting an SMS sent via Asterisk. 

Prior to switching to asterisk, I used sms_client on an ISDN line to
dial one of two Swisscom SMS centers:  0900900941 or 0794998990.  

My dialplan looks like this:

exten => 0900900941,1,Goto(smsmotx,${CALLERIDNUM},1)
exten => 0794998990,1,Goto(smsmotx,${CALLERIDNUM},1)

; outgoing SMS
[smsmotx]
exten => _X.,1,Set(smsFrom=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _X.,n,SMS(${smsFrom},,${EXTEN},${CALLERIDNAME}) ; Create an SMS
exten => _X.,n,SMS(${smsFrom}) ; Send queued SMS
exten => _X.,n,Hangup()

When I attempt to send an SMS using smsq, Asterisk appears to be
behaving normally, a call is made etc., but the SMS never arrives ...

What am I doing wrong?  Let me know what diagnostics I need to provide
if anyone wants to take a closer look.
