Use another tool for sending SMS today, a friend introduced me to NOWSMS and enjoyed. Only I visualized a big problem, when I'm sending messages with some special characters and especially the $ @, one mark is appearing upside down. I've tested many ways and it still fails. It's not always what happens, you send it normally appears and has the $ shipping it appears the question upside down. This is a system problem? | |||

Hi, Are you using SMPP in some way? In the iso-8859-1 (and US ASCII) character set, @ is encoded as code 0x40. However, in the GSM character set, code 0x40 means ¡ $ is another character that differs between these character sets. Some SMPP systems use the GSM character set, some use iso-8859-1. NowSMS defaults to GSM, but can be configured for iso-8859-1. It is unusual to see this confusion with modems. Are you perhaps using SMPP to submit to NowSMS? If your SMPP client is using iso-8859-1 with data_coding = 0? If yes, then this would explain the problem ... change data_coding to 3 ... or change the NowSMS configuration to default to iso-8859-1. For NowSMS as SMPP server (SMSC role) ... set the default character set system-wide via the "SMPP Options" button on the "Web" page of the configuration program. Or set the default character set just for the user account your SMPP client is using under "SMS Users". For NowSMS as SMPP client (ESME role), the character set is defined under "Advanced Settings" for "Properties" of the SMSC connection. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
