In SMPP, it's not possible. In raw GSM, the DCS value for flash unicode is 0x18. However, the data_coding value of 0x18 is not valid in SMPP. Some SMPP servers might support this value anyway, but most do not. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Assuming you are talking about flash messages (message class = 0) ... I have nothing to add to the above. In SMPP, it's not possible. In raw GSM, the DCS value for a flash unicode message is 0x18. However, the data_coding value of 0x18 is not valid in SMPP. Some SMPP servers might support this value anyway, but most do not, as 0x18 is a "reserved" data_coding value in the SMPP specification. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Fernando, Ok. That does not sound like Flash SMS. Flash SMS is a "class 0" message where the terminal displays the message but does not save it ... so the message does not appear in the SMS inbox and most phones do not display who the message is from. In SMPP environments, there is a problem sending Flash SMS messages that contain Unicode characters. Since you posted in an existing thread discussing that topic, I assumed that was what you were asking about. It sounds like you are talking about something else. Are you trying to send an SMS to a phone and get back a delivery receipt to verify that the phone is active? But you don't want this SMS to be seen at all by the receiving device? In that case you are talking about "short message type 0". With this type of message, the receiving device must acknowledge receipt of the message (so you can get a delivery receipt), but the content of the message is to be discarded ... so if implemented properly, the receiver never sees the message. This type of message is sent with a PID (protocol ID) value of 40 (hex). I've seen others refer to it as a silent SMS message or phantom SMS message. If submitting such a message via NowSMS, use the direct URL submission, but include the parameter &PID=40 Example: http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=%2B9999999999&text=test+message&ReceiptReques ted=Yes&PID=40 -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
