Hi,

In raw GSM, the DCS value of 18 (hex) is used for Unicode flash SMS. If you specify a value of 10 (Latin character flash SMS), NowSMS will change it to 18 if the message contains Unicode characters.

However, if you are using SMPP, there is a problem. DCS (data_coding) values 10 and 18 are technically not legal in SMPP. For SMPP connections, NowSMS remaps 10 to F0, which is legal for both SMPP and GSM, and means the same thing (class 0, GSM text, a.k.a., flash SMS).

If unicode encoding is required for the text, the only valid GSM DCS flash value is 18 ... which is marked as a reserved value that is not to be used in SMPP. Because of this, NowSMS remaps 18 to 8 (non-flash Unicode) when routing over SMPP. To stop this remapping (if your SMPP provider will support data_coding values 10 and 18), add RemapMessageClassDCS=No under the [SMPP - server:port] section of SMSGW.INI.

It is important to note, technically this flash SMS DCS value of 18 is not allowed in SMPP, so this might not work. It depends on whether or not your provider can support it.
