Those entries from that provxml came from a cab in the Bell extrom so I suspect they relate to some peculiarity of how SMS is set up on the Canadian CDMA providers.

It's great that the SMS_Providers.dll file fixes the problem as well, but I don't think I will be making that change in the kitchen since it alters the ROM from stock and could have other consequences we are not aware of yet.
Understood - just wanted to understand the origins of both files. That said, I don't think that SMS_Providers.dll is actually used anyplace (I maye be wrong of course). Maybe some experiements could be done to determine this and then the "other" SMS provier could be listed as an alternate system configuration (or just removed entirely to save space).
