Thanks to all who responded to my plea for help regarding SMS text messaging in the UK.
If it helps anyone else I'm using the one-to -one number as suggested by Andy Young (thanks Andy) and using the SMS-TAP protocol which seems to be working fine. Most of my problems seemed to relate to a V92.modem which didn't seem to work properly. Swaping this out for an ancient 33,6 USR and everthing works...could be coincedence.

You seem to be able to use other companies SMS centres to send across networks, i.e. I'm on Cellnet but can happily use One-2-One to send the SMS messages. I don't know if you saw my previous post on the subject but here it is again.... >The BT Cellnet call centre doesn't seem to use TAP in the same way the >others do, and WUG wouldn't work with it. > >A kind person on this list pointed me at One-2-One's SMS centre which is >07958 879889, TAP format. >Your mobile number should be put in the pager number box in international >format, i.e. 44 - drop the 0 - rest of your number. > >I'm still on WUG 5.01, and in that the message by default is the same as >sent to a pager, which is "%c %n %v %u at %t". > >Translated, that is: Device Type, Display Name, Names of Down Services, UP / >DOWN, at Time. > >This is completely customisable using any of the variables found in the help >file under "Notification Message Variables"."
