hmm, and how do you want to avoid this then?! I don't see how.

Ok, I guess I understand know what the point is. the
parm_valid_address() checks if it's an alphanumber address and that's
where you problem begins while you want to send "2030" as alphanumeric
and not numeric to avoid the prepending +.

Ok, it's a problem for you in some sence. But adding shortnumber as
smsc directive is a -1 vote IMO. You should try to solve this on
another way.

You may use the existing 'source-addr-ton' and/or 'source-addr-npi'
directives for CIMD2. This would be a better way in using "common"
directives for various SMSC module types.
