Ok. well the question is why is it getting into trouble as TON=1 is 
definitively a valid setting. TON=2 (national) could be replaced for 
TON=0 (undefined). Maybe that fixes 99% of the cases. In my case 
TON=0 is not accepted by the SMSC (which I consider a valid response).

Maybe it would be good to create a list of SMSC types which act differently.
