Stefan,

I am in Europe too and all I have read about SMS() leads me to believe
it is indeed for sending SMS to fixed line AND mobile phones through
the SMS server your national phone co provides. I realize that the
most interesting aspect for some is to talk back and forth between
phone and asterisk on the local server which is "nice" too.

I second the request for some config info. I've read everything I
could find on this and it wasn't enough. I'm still missing some basic
concept.

I will be asking French Telecom to enable SMS on our fixed line today
(and we'll see if that stops the nice lady from reading "hello world"
with a French accent) Fixed line SMS has been advertised for at least
a year here.
