Dear, I keep reading that for long SMS the sms is reassembled before being sent to the 2-Way command. Is there any special configuration I should do for this to happen ?
yours,

Hi yasser,

No, that is done automatically.

I believe there was a recent thread that discussed a situation with an older version of NowSMS where this was not being done automatically when the messages were being received via SMPP and the provider was using TLV headers for segmentation.

See if the following thread helps:

If not, I need more details about your SMSC connection, and details about the received messages.

I've attached some of the SMSdebug and SMPPdebug logs.It's a single long text SMS and it is handled as two SMS.

It looks like the same problem.

And in the other thread, I was incorrect about this being fixed in v5.51b. It was fixed AFTER v5.51b.

So if you are on the v5.51 release, you can download the update to v5.51k at http://www.nowsms.com/download/latestpatch.zip

Hi yasser,

Unfortunately, it does not appear that your provider is including any information to indicate that the message is a long SMS.

They are just sending it to you as separate messages. So there is no way for us to know that the two messages should really be combined. You should ask your provider if they have any options on their system to include segmentation information. We would accept either GSM UDH (user data header), or segmentation details in the SMPP optional parameters. Perhaps they have an option to enable such information.
