Hi Uttam,

If the NowSMS configuration program reports "Modem succesfully tested! Modem supports text messages only.", then this means that the GSM modem interface exposed by the modem only supports text messages.

The phone itself may support binary messages, but its GSM modem interface does not.

A Flash SMS is a text SMS message, but if the GSM modem interface only supports text messages, this text interface does not allow the DCS value to be specified.

So basically, I don't think you're going to get any further with flash SMS and that particular phone as a modem.

The modem would need to support SMS PDU mode (AT+CMGF=0), but it appears that the modem only supports text mode (AT+CMGF=1).
