Actually, in France, if the landline has the extra billed SMS service,
the SMS is sent as described by others. There is an extra digit at the
end for a kind of mailbox. This dates from when some phones had
multiple inboxes for SMS. I used that digit to send difference command
codes to my asterisk box, such as "call me back", etc.

I think if the mailbox was 0, the message was read, or perhaps if you
didn't subscribe the line to SMS it was the case.

Some of this may have changed, but when I has asterks and a fixed-line
SMS service from France Télécom, that's the way it worked.
