Ah, nice to know. But what about SMSC<->phone? Your solution supposes that the phones also support an alternative charset for arabic transport? Because if the SMSC needs to recode as UCS2 to send to the phone then the win is minimal (e.g. SMS splitted). -- Guillaume Cottenceau Create your personal SMS or WAP Service - visit http://mobilefriends.ch/
