Error( Failed to get SMSC number from phone) in python-gammu when sending sms

I got this error in sending sms: gammu.ERR_GETTING_SMSC: {'Text': u'Failed to get SMSC number from phone.', 'Code': 69, 'Where': 'SendSMS'}

Here is the code I use

import gammu

sm = gammu.StateMachine()
sm.ReadConfig()
sm.Init()

message = {
    'Text': 'python-gammu testing message', 
    'SMSC': {'Location': 1},
    'Number': '+###############',
}

sm.SendSMS(message)
Solution

  • Most likely the SMSC is not set on the SIM card. You can verify this using gammu:

    gammu getsmsc 1

    To store it on SIM card, you can do:

    gammu setsmsc 1 "+4208001234567"
