Dear Elmarie,

I can surely assure you that you will not achieve that from the DHIS2
interface. I tried it for eIDSR purposes in Rwanda and it never worked.

This is a quick fix:
You need to configure your own HTTP SMS gateway (kannel) using your
provided SMPP credentials.
Then use the created HTTP SMS gateway as your gateway for DHIS2.
I think, SMPP is not well tested in DHIS2.
