Re: Obtaining the message ID set by the SMSC

> @Ben: can you describe a senseful scenario for this need?

Sure,

Let suppose you are sending reverse billed SMS messages, i.e. ones  
that you should get a share of the revenue from the operator for. At  
the end of the charging period they tell you how many chargeable  
message you sent. When you reconcile this with the number you  
actually sent, the chances of it matching are slim. If you have the  
DLR with the operators assigned ID you are then able to add a little  
more weight to your argument that supports your message counts not  
theirs.

Its would also be useful for other support resolution issues, such as  
message that don't get delivered, by having the ID you can pass it to  
the operators TS people. Although I guess in this instance the ID  
would be available through the DLR table in the ts field.
