I use the below test.php and the reply seems to never reach sender. Kindly share ideas as to why not.

<?php

$quotes = array(
        "don't look back in anger",
        "are we all lost stars?",
        "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"
);
shuffle($quotes);

if ($name = $_REQUEST['name']) {
        echo "Hi ".$name.", ".$quotes[0];
} else {
        echo "Wrong input bro";
}

This is the log

that log was on unrelated part

I usually use this command before running a single test:

tail -f /var/log/playsms/playsms.log -n0 | tee debug1.txt

run a test and then control+c the tail command, all the log related to that test will be in debug1.txt

Unhandled means no feature handling the incoming sms, wrong keyword ?

I noticed that in your playsms you set the SMSC as smstools3 and in the log the smsc is named as modem1

yes, @Azaman_Suleiman was right.

the relevant parts from your log:

- - 2016-07-19 19:37:59 PID578e8163b24c7 admin L3 recvsms_process # unknown supplied SMSC smsc:[modem1]
- - 2016-07-19 19:37:59 PID578e8163b24c7 admin L3 gateway_decide_smsc # SMSC supplied:[modem1] configured:[] decided smsc:[blocked]

your gateway was pushing the smsc name modem1 which didn’t exists in playSMS, and then playSMS decided to chose blocked instead, which is a default behaviour

so, add an SMSC with the same name that your gateway used, in this case instead of smstools3 use modem1 instead
