No special characters were used. receiving number is in the format +49172....
As sender a name was used with no special characters too.
On the Webpage it also shows that the message was sended (green symbol)

Found the Problem: The Sender name had 13 characters and it didn't work but 
also no error was shown.

Sender with 12 characters works-

What do you mean by "sender"? Did you use the "Anderer Absender" feature?

Yes, used the "anderer absender" feature in the config of the connector

No edit button -.-. Another thing: please describe the error more clearly. Does 
WebSMS give you an error message? Does it not give you an error message but the 
message is not sent?

Sounds to me like the O2 Website is buggy, accepts senders longer than 12 chars 
but does not send then.

Felix: I think we might need a ConnectorSpec entry detailing the max length of 
the sender accepted.

WebSMS nor anything else shown an error. The Message is shown as send correctly 
on the phone. Also on the webpage the message is shown as being send correctly. 
But it isn't. (13 Small and big characters , no numbers, no special characters)

Using 12 characters (a..z, A..Z) works.

i think checking it in each connector should fit best.
just throw a WebSMSExeption with a proper message.
