Hi, My gateway provider is using nowsms SMPP server. I have a problem with the send of this message. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Yossi BIG, DanKo & Slider Invite U Tonight @ 22:00 to the opening of the Winter Line @ Special Club (Alenbi 132) with Astrix, Sub6 & Sissko! 4lists: 052-8241090 ---------------------------------------------------------------- If I delete the "@" and "&" characters the SMS arrive ok, if not then I am getting it in gibberish. When we looked on the log we found that the SMSC is display the SMS like it is a Unicode SMS, but it is not. I have used www.devshock.com & www.ipworks.com with .NET & Delphi. The SMS is exactly 160 English. Thanks for any help Asaf | |||

I'd have to see your raw SMPP submission (debug log or raw trace) in order to understand. The "@" character is sometimes a problem because in the GSM character set, it is a NULL character. NowSMS expects SMPP clients to use the GSM character set when submitting a message via SMPP. (v5.51 supports the data_coding parameter which allows you to specify that you are using iso-8859-1 as the character set rather than the GSM character set.) I'd suggest the provider should upgraded to v5.51, and that they should contact us for support. | |||

Thanks for your support Bryce. When sending SMS to NowSMS, does the NowSMS is connected to a mobile operator SMSC or NowSMS is wokring only with mobile phones connected to it? Asaf | |||

Hi Bryce, Can you please send this SMS to your mobile to see if it comes ok. Yossi BIG, DanKo & Slider Invite U Tonight @ 22:00 to the opening of the Winter Line @ Special Club (Alenbi 132) with Astrix, Sub6 & Sissko! 4lists: 052-8241090 My provider is saying that there is no problem with other clients sending to his SMPP server so I would like to know if this SMS is working on other system. The weird thing is when I make HTTP GET to the Web SMS interface of NowSMS the SMS arrive ok. Thanks in advanced, Asaf |
