asterisk users - Feb 2013 - Asterisk SMS()

All,
  I'm trying to send an SMS directly from asterisk but it doesn't seem
to be working.  The SMS() function does create an outgoing file but doesn't
deliver the SMS.  Can anyone help me to understand how SMS() works.  Thanks.

extensions.conf example:

same => n,SMS(hello,a,17654307001,"hello nick")

Let's start out by figuring out what hardware you have. Is Asterisk
connected to the PSTN? What is physically delivering the SMS to the
carriers?

Also, when I run `core show application SMS` it talks about some software
called smsq. Are you running that software?
