Hi Mexcano, That is the way that the SMS-IN files work. Unicode messages are encoded with "dcs=8" and "data=xx" where xx is the Unicode hex string of data. NowSMS converts to the configured character set only when it passes the message to a 2-way command. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Thanks Des, So how can I use the 2-way command to read arabic SMS | |||

It works the same was as 2-way commands with non-Arabic text. 2-way SMS info: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm More links and a pre-configured URL to search all 2-way SMS references on the NowSMS site: http://www.nowsms.com/support/api.htm I also find this old link useful as a 2-way SMS primer: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4520.html | |||

Do you have a current script that writes the data to Excel? I might be able to provide some guidance if you give me a starting point for your script, but I'm not enough of an Excel script expert to build it from scratch. -- Des NowSMS Support |
