Hi Jr, The SMPP specification was vague about how long messages should be handled, so different SMPP providers have different expectations for how long text messages should be encoded. (And some, who use very primitive infrastructure, do not support long messages at all, so you may need to inquire with your provider as to whether or not they support them) It is very interesting that you receive a single character message containing the character "é" ... That is character 0x05 in the GSM character set, and if memory serves me right, the first byte of UDH (user data header) in a typical long message would be 0x05. It may be that your provider does not understand UDH and the esm_class parameter, in which case option 3 or 4 in my normal list of suggestions would have the better chance of working. Here is my normal list of suggestions to try.... 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. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
