Hello ,

I am trying to send EMS message with Picture and a Text Component. The picture is received correctly but there is some problem with text with it. I did the following steps with the text part.

1. Did 7bit encoding on Text.
2. Add it to the main message.
3. Send it.

The PDU i made is as follows.(Picture + Text)

UDH 280A03000611112100FFFFFEFFFE7FFC7FE007CE73CFF3C38388094002C01360063FFC8FF1E007FF FF

I don't know what your text is, so I can't tell you whether or not you are encoding it correctly.

In NowSMS v5.51, try sending your UDH, and then include your text unencoded in the "Binary data" parameter ... and we will perform the necessary encoding.

Similar issues occur when sending messages to J2ME applications, where you have to include UDH. See the following thread for some related discussion:
