I can only send sms both via kannel and playsms but I cannot receive any
sms.
Have you checked Report -> Sandbox menu ?

Hi,
I have this same issue last time.
i just change the device settings to
device = /dev/ttyUSB2
instead of
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
message-storage = SM
whats your modem type
anton
just want to share my experience about Huawei modems (E1552 and E1553) and my configuration
Usually it create ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB2 or ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB3.
When i use the first modem (ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1), although i can send an SMS, i cannot receive.
What i get from the logs is that +CMS error messages.
I’ve tried many times, installing via centos and ubuntu. I thought my modem is at fault and thinking of buying a wavecom GSM modem just for it to work.
Just for the heck of testing, i’ve tried using the 2nd port allocated by the modem (ttyUSB2 or ttyUSB3), and it finally works.
I’ve tried to revert back to ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1, but i’m getting the same +CMS error.
Maybe just try it if you are using Huawei Modem.

hi ;
il’s a Huawei E367
I’ve tried to revert back to ttyUSB2 , now i can’t send msg 
Hi,
If you could solved it by changing the tty device name then its the device name problem.
Please read my link above, persistent device name, so it wont change no matter what.
anton
hi;
I changed ttyUSB0 to ttyUSB2 and from that change I can not even send a msg , I tried to make it as at the beginning , I can not send or receive.
I actually used one kannel , only gsm1! should i use two getway ? two modem should be connected ?
It is not always ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB2, it can change to any number, sequentially on every problem occurred on USB, for example when cable unplugged accidentally and re-plugged back.
You can check which USB your modem currently mapped to by running these commands:
dmesg
lsusb
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
So, in order to make it NOT CHANGING the name, you need to follow manual on my link. The link is an article about how to configure 2 modems to stay using persistent names.
If you only have 1 modem then you can ignore my example on gsm2.
I hope that make senses.

You need to restart kannel (smsbox / bearerbox) every time you change USB.
does anyone even consider to open my link ? 
no restart, no nothing, all you need to do is just map it correctly

looks good, connected, but not properly init
try to change the modem init option on kannel.conf, browse “kannel huawei” you’ll see several init strings you can try
restart kannel everytime you changed kannel.conf
