AFAIR CIMD protocol (the one you talk with SMSC when you are directly
connected) allows you to do the thing. Conclusions: you can't do it with
gnokii (because there's no possibility), you need a phisical conection to
SMSC (or maybe other way when your operator supports it, eg. SMSC
automaticaly converts your number to something else -- in Poland there's
no such service for the individual customers). There existed a kannel
project some time ago (hope it is still alive) that provided cimd
protocols implementation and provided SMSC functionality -- try google.
