[Asterisk-Users] SMS & Asterisk - an explanation

[Asterisk]

I tried to send sms messages the other day from a * box connected to a E1
line (BT ISDN30).

Message never arrived, however, I was soon called back on the E1 by an
automated BT system which sent a message stating that "you cannot send sms
messages on this line"

Is there anything I need to do before I start sending text messages ? Is it
the ISDN30 that is the problem, and do I need to send SMS via standard lines
(pots) or ISDN2e lines ?

Julian.
