Hi Alex, >From this thread that you responded to see http://www.kannel.org/pipermail/users/2012-April/017611.html and the current user guide, it seems Kannel has never allowed data_coding to be set to 3. See the coding parameter in the current spec http://www.kannel.org/download/kannel-userguide-snapshot/userguide.html#AEN5 058 Coding Accepts values 0 to 2, for 7bit, 8bit or UCS-2. 0 causes data_coding 0 (for 7bit), 1 causes data_coding 4 (for 8bit) and 2 causes data_coding 8 (for UCS-2).
Vodacom SA which has the largest mobile network in SA, has said to send the Extended GSM characters, we need to use Latin-1 characters and set our data_coding field to 3 to tell the SMSC to translate the characters from Latin-1 to GSM. (Note that standard ASCII and IA5 is a sub set of Latin-1.) However, need to be able to send the extended GSM characters using 7 bits without using Unicode as otherwise each SMS would then only be 70 characters and our clients would require many more SMSs to send the same message. Do you have a patch, that will allow Kannel users to set the coding parameter to 3? If not, would you be open to someone committing a patch for this? Thanks for all the amazing work you do for Kannel.
