Hello,

I've noticed that there is an extra bit in the message considered as fill bit.

Looking at the Wireshark code, we see that when fill_bits = 2, the
fill_bits_mask is at 0xe0, which translates into 3 bits of fill bits displayed
on Wireshark.

The following is the code in question taken from
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/releases/wireshark-1.0.7/epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_sms.c?revision=28024&view=markup

Regards,
Ames
