Hi, It's a character set issue of some sort. Here is how I would suggest troubleshooting it. Send an Arabic SMS message in to your 2-way command. Does your application see the Arabic correctly? If not, change the 2-way character set between utf-8 and iso-8859-6. One of these character sets should work. Once you are receiving the text correctly, then you should be able to send (or reply back) correctly. As a simple test, just try replying back with the same text that you received. If you do not make any progress, enable the SMSDEBUG.LOG (checkbox on the "Serial #" page). Send in another SMS with Arabic characters to your 2-way command. Have your 2-way command try to send back the same Arabic text. After you have done this test, reply to this post with the SMSDEBUG.LOG that is generated. This will show us details about what NowSMS is seeing, and that should help explain what you need to do. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

If you are going to use the ECHO command as a test, you need to configure the 2-way command to use your system's local character set as the character set to use. In your case, that would be iso-8859-6. Otherwise, NowSMS uses UTF-8 ... which will confuse a Windows command line. Try changing the 2-way command character set to iso-8859-6. | |||
