It says there's a default anyway.  Note smsq doesn't send one (I guess 
this is bug in smsq).  I rewrote the number to 17940099 anyway and it 
didn't make a difference.

However it doesn't explain the issue.  I send:

smsq 00000 register

And it's supposed to text me back with a 'successful' message.

The outgoing works.  This isn't about extra digits or anything like that.

The message centre then calls me back, but asterisk can't receive the 
message.. it hangs up after the first response.  I listened to what is 
coming back and it is *not* trying to send voice.. it's actually a 
silent line that drops after about 5 seconds if it doesn't get the 
correct response (I'm guessing that asterisk isn't sending the correct 
response). Has anyone got this working in the UK?  Do I have to set a 
country specific setting?

btw. I asked T mobile and they do not support direct SMS to landlines - 
they in fact couldn't understand why I would ever want it.  The explains 
the mobile not working.  They need adding to the list of mobile 
companies that do not work.  (this renders the whole exercise academic 
of course since I can't actually use it.. it still annoys me it doesn't 
work).
