Hi again, Could you please explain how can i produce the headers for sending long sms. For example i have the follwing sms: sms1.1 = "blablablablavlabla" sms1.2 = "blablablablabla" So when sending the sms using the ASCII character set i will use the method to send long sms like smpp_send(sms1.1) smpp_send(sms1.2) How can i define the headers infront of each message so that the SMSC will understand that it will be proccesed as a single message and not two different ones! Once again thank you for your valuable help!! | |||

Hi, This is the product support forum for NowSMS. So I would ask in the future that if you have questions that do not pertain to NowSMS, please post them in one of the areas that are not marked "Product Support Only". The short answer is that you need to set concatenation headers in the user data header (UDH). The concatenation headers are defined in ETSI GSM 03.40. It basically looks like this: 050003xxyyzz xx - reference number (match all parts) yy - number of message parts zz - sequence number (starts at 1) -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi, That is normal encoding for a segmented long text message. It is difficult to read from the logs, but the message will be sent out correctly. Note ... however, that there are different encoding expectations of different SMS service providers. NowSMS has a number of advanced settings to set the encoding that works with your provider. The following article discusses long SMS, and explains the configuration options that you should try changing. http://blog.nowsms.com/2007/06/long-sms-text-messages-and-160.html If this doesn't answer your question, please reply back and I'll try to explain further. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi, You may need to ask your service provider for guidance as to how to send long messages through their system. However, before you do this, please try the settings again ... verifying that they are getting saved properly, and that the NowSMS service gets restarted in between your tests. Trying with the "use 7-bit packed encoding for long messages" CHECKED and NOT CHECKED should be attempted. Also, try using the parameter setting "Use TLV parameters for port numbers and segmentation", as some providers use this. -- Des NowSMS Support |
