I have read the threads about processing incoming binary messages. That will work for my application but is it possible to send the binary message back to NowSMS and get it back in "plain text" or can I get it directly as plain text? It will take me a while to write my own "decoder" for incoming binary messages. | |||

Hi Mikael, If the message is binary then how would we convert it to plain text? If the message is a known text format, then we do convert it to text for the 2-way interface. So perhaps you could explain what type of binary message you are trying to receive? -bn | |||

If I understand everything correctly NowSMS works like this for 2ways SMS. - If you send a message (size smaller than 160 characters) to NowSMS I can read this message in "plain text". - If you send a concatenated message to NowSMS (7-bit 250 characters) this will not be forwarded to my webpage with 2 way sms support. This message will only be forwarded if I enable binary support for 2way sms and then I will get it as a binary message instead of plain text. If this is correct then my questions is: Can I use NowSMS to decode my 7-bit message to plain-text // Micke | |||

Hi Micke, If its a concatenated message, NowSMS will re-assemble and convert it into text before routing it to a 2-way command. -bn | |||

P.S. - If this is not working properly for you, I'd like to see the raw binary messages that you are receiving. (Also, let me know what you expect the content of those raw messages to be, as that will speed up my study of them.) | |||
