Yes, I did.

The phone number you need to have Asterisk dial to send SMS messages is 
NOT the phone number of the phone you want to receive the SMS message, 
but that of your local SMS service center. You can receive this number 
from your local telco or from browsing your PSTN phone menus.

Hope this helps,
