Kannel "0: Accepted for delivery" but not sent - kannel

Question

I've always used smslib to connect to my SMS provider.
My SMS provider has a SMSC, and I connect in transmitter mode (not transceiver).
I'm trying to connect via Kannel, with this configuration:
group = core
admin-port = 13000
smsbox-port = 13001
wapbox-port = 13002
admin-password = dad
admin-deny-ip = ""
admin-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*"
wapbox-port = 13002
wdp-interface-name = "*"
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/kannel.log"
log-level = 0
box-deny-ip = ""
box-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*"
# NOT USED
group = wapbox
bearerbox-host = localhost
log-file = "/var/log/wapbox.log"
log-level = 0
syslog-level = none
group = smsbox
bearerbox-host = localhost
sendsms-port = 13013
global-sender = 56951000000
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/smsbox.log"
log-level = 0
smsbox-id = smsbox
group = smsc
smsc = smpp
smsc-id = dadn_1
host = hidden on purpose for this post
port = 54002
smsc-username = dadn_1
smsc-password = pwd_1
system-type = smpp_1
transceiver-mode = 0
interface-version = 34
allowed-smsc-id = dadn_1
my-number = hidden on purpose for this post
source-addr-ton = 0
source-addr-npi = 1
dest-addr-ton = 0
dest-addr-npi = 1
bind-addr-ton = 0
bind-addr-npi = 1
source-addr-autodetect = 1
group = sendsms-user
username = dad
password = dad
concatenation = true
max-messages = 10
group = sms-service
keyword = wwwservice
get-url = "http://......./send_dummy_mail.asp"
concatenation = true
catch-all = yes
When I call the send SMS URL, ie:
http://.....:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=dad&password=dad&to=....&text=test&smsc=dadn_1
I get this:
0: Accepted for delivery
And when I go to the status page, ie:
http://.....:13000status.html?password=dad
I get this:
Status: running, uptime 0d 0h 0m 45s
WDP: received 0 (0 queued), sent 0 (0 queued)
SMS: received 0 (0 queued), sent 1 (0 queued), store size -1
SMS: inbound (0.00,0.00,0.00) msg/sec, outbound (0.02,0.02,0.02) msg/sec
DLR: 0 queued, using internal storage
Box connections:
smsbox:smsbox, IP 127.0.0.1 (0 queued), (on-line 0d 0h 0m 41s)
SMSC connections:
dadn_1 SMPP:.......:54002/54002:dadn_1:smpp_1 (online 45s, rcvd 0, sent 1, failed 0, queued 0 msgs)
As you can see, it says "sent 1".
In the log, just after entering the URL, I get this:

As you can see, a "message_id" was assigned, etc.
However, the SMS isn't arriving to my mobile device.
If I use SMSLIB with exactly the same configuration, the SMS does arrive.. so my provider is working fine.
Questions are:
Is there something wrong in my Kannel configuration?
If I'm getting 0: Accepted for delivery, is my provider's fault? the SMS is "there" already?

Answer 1

Two things to note.
You definitely need a transmitter and receiver mode to send and receive SMS.
If you are using "get-url" in your sms-service, then the output of that URL invocation should be text sent to STDOUT. The name says ".../send_dummy_mail.asp". I believe that this URL returns something in STDOUT apart from sending mail. If the URL is not throwing any STDOUT then you will not get any SMS sent as response.
