My ideas:
1. Use a modern ICQ client (I use Kopete, but never tried to send SMS
messages via ICQ). vicq is unsupported since 2002 or so.
Or use the sendsms script.
2. To send legally-formatted Hebrew SMS message, certain flags in the
system parts of the message need to be correctly set for it to have 70
Unicode characters rather than 160 Latin characters. vicq probably does
not have those flags correctly set. I do not have vicq on my PC (it is
supposed to be a Perl script), so I did not check this.
