Hi,
I want to send long UCS2 msg , so I want to concatenate two SMS which include UCS2 , I checked the ETSI GSM 03.40 specification , I understand :
"xx" is the WDP-SAR-reference.
"yy" is WDP-SAR-total-segments.
"zz" is WDP-SAR-current-segment.

and I understand :

Length of User Data Header 1 octet
Information-Element-Identifier "A" 1 octet
Length of Information-Element "A" 1 octet
Information-Element "A" Data 1 to "n" octets

but may be because there is no simple example for that , I could not create a simple two concatenated sms , so can any one just give me a sample on sending Text Msg (for example "This is a Test" ) in Binary SMS , and if it is UCS2 what will be the changes on the header , and if it is longer than 160 character ( 7 bit ) or 70 character(16 bit , UCS2) what will be the changes ?

I really appreciate your help

Best Regards

John,

I'm sorry ... I have not had time to reply to your question. This is the support forum for the Now SMS/MMS Gateway product, so I have to give priority to replies on questions that relate to our product.

You might just want to download an eval of NowSMS from the web site here, and look at the logs to see what it sends out when it sends out a long message.

That said, UCS2 is considerably easier to send out than 7-bit GSM ... because the encoding is very simple.

You're going to set a User Data Header (UDH) of 050003xx0201 on the first message, and 050003xx0202 on the second. "xx" is a message identifier that links the two messages together (SAR-reference).

The data that follows the UDH is standard UCS2 encoding.
