Nop, no idea heere. That's what I tried to say: I don't see (am not aware) of a 
phone simulator that could directly interact with Kannel.

Kannel ofers a fake SMSC construct to test the SMSC side. Hence your scope is 
beyond that, the mobile itself.

Nop. Kannel is considered as abstraction layer of the various SMSC protocols and 
communicates towards the backend application layer in HTTP/1.1.

> Do I have to have a SMSC? (just phone simulator, kannel sms gateway + backend apps enough?) I am in hurry for a testing without enough inivestigation time first.

You can go ahead with application, Kannel as gateway, and fake SMSC (part of 
Kannel, see docs) so see the communication chain. There is no phone simulator 
that could "display" this MO and MT messages in a fancy little window though.

that would be great. I found the official CMPP 2.0 in chenese, but I don't think 
  my chenese will be goog enough. ;) Seeing from an other article it seems that 
it is structured very similar to SMPP itself. But we'd definetly need an english 
spec paper to get further here.
