hello.

i am testing now sms with my sms SMPP provider and i have two questions.

When i send sms that have less than 160 char, there is no probleme. But when i send sms that have more than 160 chars, the sms i receive on the mobile phone is unreadable why ?

if i disable the web menu interface, how the sender that have an account can send his login and password in the URL parameters ?

The SMPP specification is a bit ambiguous, and some providers expect messages to be delivered in different formats.

Highlight the SMPP definition in your "SMSC" list, and press "Properties". Go to the "Advanced Settings" page, and UNcheck "Encode long text messages with packed 7-bit encoding".

That will trigger NowSMS to use an alternate encoding which will probably work with your SMPP provider.

See the following links:

Note that you need to either specify the user account information ("SMS Users") via HTTP Basic Authentication ("Authorization:") header, or in "User" and "Password" parameters in the HTTP request.
