Hello, I have submitted the following message: http://localhost:8080/?PhoneNumber=123123123&SMSCRoute=SC11111&Text=AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&user=test& password=test&ReceiptRequested=Yes And the files that were created are the following: [SMS] SubmitUser=test SubmittedBy=127.0.0.1 ReceiptRequested=Yes Data=82C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16 030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C068 3C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683C16030180 C0683C16030180C0683C16030180C0683 UDH=050003340201 Binary=1 PhoneNumber=123123123 SMSCRoute=SC11111 [SMS] SubmitUser=test SubmittedBy=127.0.0.1 ReceiptRequested=Yes Data=82C16030180C0601 UDH=050003340202 Binary=1 PhoneNumber=123123123 SMSCRoute=SC11111 Can somebody tell me how the Data fields are formed, what type of encoding is it? I think it has something to do with 7 bit encoding, but can somebody shed some light and if possible suggest to a .Net library/function that encodes this ways? | |||

Hi Nikos, I'm not sure about any libraries, but ETSI GSM 03.38 defines the 7-bit packed encoding. And ETSI GSM 03.40 defines segmentation/concatenation using UDH. What are you trying to do? I'm guessing that you're trying to create the Q files directly? -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

I want to send multipart messages of less than 153 characters each. I see that the only way to do this with NowSMS is to create the UDH manually and to submitted it along with the text message in encoded form: http://localhost/?PhoneNumber=123123&SMSCRoute=SMSC1&user=test&password=test&Rec eiptRequested=Yes&data=8C46A3D168341E8FC7E3F1783C1E8F&udh=050003A50101 So, I have to create somehow the data field myself. Btw,I have tried instead of data= to use text= and then the message in clear text and it arrived on the phone scrambled. | |||

Hi Nikos, What multipart segment size do you have to use? (I'm also curious if you know why there a different segment size is needed. We did recently have a customer who needed to use 16-bit reference numbers in segmented messages instead of 8. This reduces the 153 character limit to 152. If you only need to chop one character off, I can describe that setting.) There is one possibility that I can think of ... I believe this will work: http://localhost/?PhoneNumber=123123&SMSCRoute=SMSC1&user=test&password=test&Rec eiptRequested=Yes&text=text+message+here&udh=050003A50101 You still need to generate the UDH, but NowSMS will see that the data is text and will handle it appropriately. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
