Hello,

I have Now SMS/MMS Gateway v2013.09.26 and i face an issue with telephone numbers that are foreign numbers.
Although in my database i can see that the numbers are starting with "00" at the start of each foreign telephone number, i notice in the log files (SMSOUT, SMSIN) that the requests that are send to my provider these number change and the "00" is replaced with "+".
For example if i want to send sms to "0033333333333" the request to my provider is send for "+33333333333".
My provider claims that numbers with "+" are illegal so they reject these requests.
Is there any configuration that i can change in order to keep the numbers exactly the same and not trying to convert them?

Thank you

Thank you for your quick response.
The link was very helpful indeed.
So i take a look on my SMSGW.INI file and i noticed that there is a parameter:
GlobalRecipPrefixConvert=00:+

So i guess thats why all international numbers are converted using the "+" sign.
This means that if i remove this entry the numbers will not change?
