Well we would to have to use it the other way around.
and it would have to be SMSC specific. Imagine you have one EMI link to 
germany and one to switzerland and you get "country specific" numbers 
on each of them.

My approach would simply to specify international and national prefixes 
and country codes on the SMSC link. This would also help on the sending 
side where a + currently is replaced hardcoded with 00 which is not 
really always true.
