The issue here is that when you receive an SMS from the MSC the phone 
has to reply with an ACK. If you're sending an SMS at the same time, 
you're getting into trouble. The difference between the operators might 
be related to the fact that on one operator it takes longer than on 
others. Also different MSC's act different. We have seen situations 
like: You send a MT to a MSC which is then in progress of sending it to 
the phone. While doing that, another MT arrives to the MSC. Some MSCs 
reject the second, some do simply buffer it.

We have used a few Siemens TC35 pretty sucessfully for this. We only 
receive on them. Now we changed to our own MSC emulation infrastructure 
which makes receiving a lot faster and reliable.
