Hi Mehdi,

If you are getting an "Unable to connect to SMPP" server, this means that a connection could not be established at the IP level. Basically, it didn't get as far as trying any authentication parameters.

They probably need to open up their firewall to allow your IP address to connect.

Did you supply them with your IP address? Is that the IP address that you are connecting from externally (if you're going through a firewall, the IP address you need to configure may be an address associated with the firewall).
