Hello, If you are using the SMSBOX, did you try to change the password of group = sendsms-user
Try to add also the global-sender parameter to the group = smsbox , to restrict certain pre-code like 001 for state etc.... in this way, it will ignore the none prefix mobile number. Try to change the smsbox-port if applicable.
