I wrote a post-request for C # sending SMS with Russian text.

string url = "http://localhost:8800";
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
{
var pars = new NameValueCollection();
pars.Add("PhoneNumber", "+71234567891");
pars.Add("Text", "Пост запрос");
pars.Add("Binary", "0");
var response = webClient.UploadValues(url, "POST", pars);
string str = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);

Console.WriteLine(str);
Console.ReadKey();
}

The message came on the phone in Hexadecimal. Tell me how to get SMS with Russian characters?

Hi,

The first question I'd ask is if you can send that same text OK from the built-in web form.

If OK, then the issue is that you are not using UTF-8 encoding for the Russian text input. Most likely, you are using KOI8-R...and just add a parameter charset=KOI8-R to tell NowSMS...or convert to UTF-8.

If messages are not OK from the web interface, then we need details about your SMSC connection.

The development environment C# by default uses UTF-8 encoding - 100%. Perhaps there are any settings in the application itself and it is in it that you need to find the reason?

Apologies for missing your follow-up.

I asked if you can send that same text OK from the built-in web form (in NowSMS). How we troubleshoot the next step depends on that answer.
