Elias,

This problem occurs when your SMS service provider encodes the short code as an "alphanumeric sender" instead of as a number.

(NowSMS wouldn't do this ... unless you are using an SMPP connection and have explicitly set the Source TON to 5 under "Advanced Settings")

Usually this happens when you are trying to send out messages from a short code via a low cost SMS provider other than the one via which you registered the short code.
