Hello,

Am running now sms/mms gateway v2013.11.15 and when a user sends more than 160 characters in a message. It comes with @#*&$^$& the entire message.
Please advise.

Hi Daniel,

Are you using SMPP.? Because the SMPP specification was vague about how this should be handled, different SMPP providers have different expectations for how long text messages should be encoded.

Try the following different settings combinations under the Advanced settings for the SMPP connection.

Note: When changing this setting, to apply it, it is necessary to press "OK" twice, then "Apply" and either wait 1 minute for the server to load the changed settings, or restart the service.

1.) "Encode long messages with 7-bit packed encoding" - NOT CHECKED
"Use TLV parameters for port numbers and segmentation" - NOT CHECKED
"Use WDP Adaptation" - NOT CHECKED

2.) "Encode long messages with 7-bit packed encoding" - CHECKED
"Use TLV parameters for port numbers and segmentation" - NOT CHECKED
"Use WDP Adaptation" - NOT CHECKED

3.) "Encode long messages with 7-bit packed encoding" - NOT CHECKED
"Use TLV parameters for port numbers and segmentation" - CHECKED
"Use WDP Adaptation" - NOT CHECKED

4.) "Encode long messages with 7-bit packed encoding" - NOT CHECKED
"Use TLV parameters for port numbers and segmentation" - NOT CHECKED
"Use WDP Adaptation" - CHECKED


If your SMPP provider can support long messages, at least one of these options should work.
