no make the answer short: no.

The reason is that Kannel's wapbox can't "see" the MSISDN of the
caller. The MSISDN (caller id) is on a lower network layer capsulated,
basicaly within the scope of ISDN and RADIUS authentication while
performing the login/dial-in.

Hence this can be done, but only by getting the informations from the
lower levels. The WSP protocoll does not care about MSISDN numbers, it
only sees IPs itself. So what you want to do is called "MSISDN
provisioning", which encapsulates the MSISDN number of the device to
the WSP/HTTP headers.

This can be done via RADIUS accouting proxies. We are about to add
this to Kannel. It's already finished but should go into the CVS tree
after releasing the new 1.3.2 development release.
