Problem:

first off, cf SMS gateway  converts sent SMS hex  IDs to decimal. this is a bad design choice  as it makes tracking sent SMS via delivery receipts more complex than it needs to be, if the SMS vendor uses hex IDs then SMS IDs in delivery receipts are in hex as well & will not nmatch the IDs from cf when the SMS was sent. cf should just pass back what it received from the SMS vendor.secondly,  there's a nasty bug in  the gateway that cause only *some* hex IDs  to be converetd to decimal.  if the hex ID begins with [A-F,a-f] then it is NOT converted to decimal.
Method:

send SMS via vendor that returns hex IDs. observe returned IDs.
Result:

If this is large effort, we should defer the bug as it is late in the cycle. (Comment added from ex-user id:hkhandel)

SMSgateway was converting the messageid which is represented as HEX value on SMS network to decimal which was not needed and it would fail if the decimal value is big enought not to fit in integer range. Now by default we will not convert these HEX IDs to decimal. - Added a jvm flag "coldfusion.convertsmsidtodecimal" which can be set to true to retain old behavior of converting ids to decimal. I could not test because of unavailability of setup. QA needs to test this or send the patch to Paul Hastings for testing
