Hi all. I hope someone can help me with this. I have tried some different TPDU, but none of them seem to work. Why? In the receiving GSM mobile phone, the only text shown in the sms is something like: "Message can not be shown here". What does this mean? Can an ordinary sms in pdu mode not be sent in 8bit data? E.g. I have tried this string:0005000A91yyyyyyyyyy00040348454A I am going to implement sms transmit and receive on an embedded platform and would like to avoid converting from octets to septets. I hope someone have the time to help me out on this. Best regards Flemming | |||

Many phones will not attempt to interpret binary messages for display. In particular, Nokia phones don't seem to make any attempt to display the message and just display an error. (This may be the case with other manufacturer devices as well, but I know I've seen this with Nokias.) So I suspect you'll have to do conversion in order to support sending to the widest array of devices. | |||
