Error( Failed to get SMSC number from phone) in python-gammu when sending sms

Question

I got this error in sending sms: gammu.ERR_GETTING_SMSC: {'Text': u'Failed to get SMSC number from phone.', 'Code': 69, 'Where': 'SendSMS'}

Here is the code I use

import gammu

sm = gammu.StateMachine()
sm.ReadConfig()
sm.Init()

message = {
    'Text': 'python-gammu testing message', 
    'SMSC': {'Location': 1},
    'Number': '+###############',
}

sm.SendSMS(message)

Can you share debug log as well? Most likely the SMSC number is not set in the phone/SIM card. — Michal Čihař, Oct 27 '15 at 07:06
I guess so since when I try to add the number on SMSC manually it works fine. Could you send a link on how to set SMSC in SIM card? — Erwin Daez, Oct 28 '15 at 11:43

Most likely the SMSC is not set on the SIM card. You can verify this using gammu:

gammu getsmsc 1

To store it on SIM card, you can do:

gammu setsmsc 1 "+4208001234567"
