I read in NOWSMS help that some characters must be replaced,like & will be %26,< %3C and others, depending on this $ will be %24. but I tried this way ,I put 24% instead of $ but the message wasnot delivered. Any one have a solution? | |||

Hi, It's probably best to give me a complete example so that I can see exactly what you tried. Also, enable the SMSDEBUG.LOG in NowSMS (checkbox on the "Serial #" page of the configuration dialog). If you try again, and post the contents of SMSDEBUG.LOG, then we'll see what NowSMS saw as the inbound URL coming from your application, so we can check to see if that was what was expected. Oh ... and one other note ... $ is usually not a problem character (@ can be in many environments) ... but it may also be worth your trying to send your message via the NowSMS web interface to verify that it works there. Then we can determine if the problem with the $ character is between your application and NowSMS, or NowSMS and your SMS service provider. -bn | |||

I'm not sure what I'm looking at in your debug log. The $ character doesn't appear to be in that message. Test to see if you have a problem sending the "@" character. If you do, under "Advanced Settings" for the properties of the SMPP connection in NowSMS, change "SMSC Character Set" to "iso-8859-1". Note, however, that this setting should have no impact on the "$" character, as the "$" character is encoded the same in both the GSM character set and the iso-8859-1 Latin subset that is preferred by some SMSCs. If this still doesn't work, you may have to ask your SMS provider what special considerations exist for sending the "$" character through their system, as they may have some special meaning for this character on their system. I've certainly never encountered this before, however ... | |||
