Hi every one
i use kannel1.4.0 in windows xp
i sent English sms using kannel sms gateway and smpp protocol successfully.
Now i need to send Arabic sms ,what changes should i do to do that ?
You need to use UCS2 (and you have to know that one SMS is
limited to 70 characters then). When using the send-sms interface
to send an MT, use coding=2 and put the message in the text=
field. The message needs to be expressed with the UTF16BE
charset. Check the kannel user-guide documentation if needed,
these settings are described.
Notice: how to convert your message to UTF16BE depends on your
software environment and I don't know windoze myself.
in some cases an other option to UCS-2 is possible to obtain the "full" SMS
payload length:
In SMPP the DCS value defines the character set encoding. SMPP does not define a
reserved value for arrabic, but it may be possible that the SMSC provider has an
assigned DCS value for a specific arabic encoding set. Please contact him
directly to ask if they have assigned a DCS value for a specific arrabic encoding.
In any case: use CVS HEAD instead of 1.4.0, it's a 1.4.1RC.
