Hi Eric, I need more information to answer your question. Specifically I need to know what type of outbound SMSC connection you are using and how you are inputting messages to NowSMS. I'll make a guess based upon the most common issue. Focus your tests first on having characters sent properly using the NowSMS web form. This will let you determine if the character set problem is input from your app or output to the SMSC. For SMPP SMSCs, there are two different character sets that are commonly used. NowSMS defaults to using the GSM character set, but some providers use iso-8859-1. There is a checkbox setting for specifying the SMSC character set under Properties/Advanced Settings for the SMPP connection. When changing the setting be sure to press OK twice, then Apply twice and allow the service to restart. If messages are fine from the web form but not from your app, then this would be an input issue NowSMS defaults to expecting utf-8 input. If you are using a different character set, you can specify it in the URL submission with the &charset parameter, such as &charset=iso-8859-1 -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
