Mauro, A few notes:
1. You won't be able to tell make and model from the incoming SMS. SMS protocol doesn't have any means to inform you about the kind of device sending the message, so you'll probably have to ask that (by means of some sort of interactive menu or similar methods). 2. Not all models support the same formats, and as I've stated before, there are some models that support shorter messages only. 3. On Kannel source, check on /contrib/web folder, there are some examples on sending many different formats (mostly legacy). Despite not having EMS and SCKL, the "TUNE" mode uses SmartMessaging and it should serve you as a guide about how to implement the other formats. That being said, yes, that would work out for legacy phones IMHO.
