Problem:
currently coldfusion SMS gateway  converts hex IDs returned by SMS vendors to decimal, this isn't the best approach for several reasons:- if SMS IDs are hex then message receipts are also returned w/hex IDs. extra processing is then required to track SMS  as cf converts the original hex IDs to decimal-  there'a bug in the conversion process see bug  #86928- we have an SMS vendor threathening to "upgrade" their message IDs to 128 bit hex  which would completely break cf's ID handling a good enhancement would be for cf to just pass thru the IDs returned from the SMS vendor 'as is", not processing them at all.  for safety's sake there might be an option  in the  gateway config to either convert the hex to decimal (old behavior) or pass thru the IDs "as is" (new behavior).
