You get the mobile phone number from the mobile network operator, when you buy the SIM card. If you send SMS messages using this configuration all messages will be sent out using this phone number. If somebody replies to this phone number in a reply SMS, it will arrive to the GSM modem and the Ozeki software will forward this message to the SMPP client.
