Now it's quite easy to change line 15 to the new pattern, but I'm curious if others are also seeing this change, or if they run both. In which case I'd need to code all known patterns in. The alternative is to require users adding a specific EOF code in the phone when they send.

To switch to the new Verizon message text, you can either just edit line 15, or use the patch.

I've been busy on other stuff, so I've not been able to come back to this.

I really like the idea of a "universal" filter - that way the user could define their own EOF code, or they could customise a generic filter. Then we could have a documentation page here on Drupal that lists the configuration patterns for various providers.

Leave it with me a little longer - I will get round to this eventually!

Setting this a duplicate of #274423: Option to set static 'end of text' code - that thread has a better title that describes the above!

Hey Stuart and hyrcan, just wanted to point you to a project called mobile voices (vozmob) where we're currently debugging mms filters for verizon, boost, tmobile, metropcs. Check it out, and if you're interested please help us out :)
