Stipe, Thanks for the response, BUT this is not exactly what I am asking for. I already implemented the scenario you describe (could not fetch). In my scenario the HTTP request is delivered to the HTTP server, BUT BEFORE the HTTP server delivers the expected response to kannel, the connection goes down. So kannel thinks that everything is ok (it delivered the http request sucessfully), BUT it gets no response-SMS and the user receives nothing in his mobile (as the connection is down). Any further ideas ?

Thanks in advance yes, Kannel (or specifically the smsbox) can handle this. smsbox can have an HTTP request queueing mechanism where you can have several tries to deliver the HTTP request to the HTTP server. Please see user's guide for configuration directives. Now as smsbox will tried all HTTP GETs as failed, when no answer is given, it will retry to N times that you can configure. If it fails for all N times, then the smsbox will pass a "could not fetch" message to the user via bearerbox.
