Hi, I have setup my GSM Modem and my SMPP client connected to NowSMS. It is not clear why my SMPP client always receive '@' and other chinese characters as a square from the GSM Modem (NowSMS). Is it because it always convert the UTF-8 string to ASCII for GSM Modem to the SMPP client? Thank you.

Hi Leon, We assume that SMPP clients will use the GSM character set when connecting to NowSMS to send and receive messages. In the GSM character set, the "@" character is encoded as a null. If you want to configure NowSMS to use the (more commonly understood by humans) iso-8859-1 character set, then you can edit SMSGW.INI, and add SMSCCharset=iso-8859-1 under an [SMPP] section header. This [SMPP] section header is different from any [SMPP - server:port] section headers that might be defined for external SMPP SMSC connections. Example: [SMPP] SMSCCharset=iso-8859-1 -- Malcolm Now Wireless Support | |||
