Since "+" has special meaning (it is encoded space), you have to url-encode it (use "%2b" in place of +).

Subject: Trying sendsms using HTTP interface

I tried to send SMS via HTTP using this string to URL in a Firefox Web Browser

http://smsbox.host.name:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=myusername&password=mypassword&to=+639191234567&text=Hello+world

But nothing was sent to the target number.
(The number in the URL string is just dummy.)

Mobile phone numbers here in Philippines starts with two-digit "+63"
followed by service providers three-digit number "9xx"
followed by seven-digit user number

Is there any problem with the URL format?

I added http-proxy-host, http-proxy-port attribute because smsbox inherits them from core. Both with and without http-proxy-host, port attribute, the sendsms failed to send to the target phone. What could be the problem?

Here is my smskannel.conf

group = core
admin-port = 13000
smsbox-port = 13001
admin-password = bar
#status-password = foo
#admin-deny-ip = ""
#admin-allow-ip = ""
#log-file = "/tmp/kannel.log"
#log-level = 0
box-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*"
box-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1"
#unified-prefix = "+358,00358,0;+,00"
#access-log = "/temp/access.log"
#store-file = "/tmp/kannel.store"
#ssl-server-cert-file = "cert.pem"
#ssl-server-key-file = "key.pem"
#ssl-certkey-file = "mycertandprivkeyfile.pem"
#added as inherited by smsbox group
http-proxy-port = 3128
http-proxy-host = proxy8.up.edu.ph
