Hi,
this one did the trick, thanks!
It's a hack, but now, it works as expected. When I find much time,
I'll dig for the real solution (probably never :-).
Thanks again,
Markus

Hi Markus,
A hack for this problem: generate an MO with the special chars and
send it to Kannel. Use the characters you receive as a dictionary to
encode your MTs.

Hi,
I have a problem sending special characters in mobile terminated
messages through Kannel.
The Setup: Debian (Sarge), Kannel 1.4.1 (from .deb packages), libxml 2.6.16-7
SMSC: Vodafone Germany, EMI
The Problem: I want to send the following test message: ABCDäöüÄÖÜß
Each time I send this message I receive ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ on the mobile phone.
Here are my requests to kannel:
ISO-8859-1 encoded:
http://SERVER:PORT/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=USERpassword=PASSto=RECIPIENTtext=ABCD%e4%f6%fc%c4%d6%dc%dfcharset=ISO-8859-1from=SHORTNUMBER
smsbox.log says:
2007-04-03 11:23:49 [762] [3] INFO: sendsms
sender:smsSender:SHORTNUMBER (IPADDRESS) to:RECIPIENT
msg:ABCDäöüÄÖÜß
This at least tells me that the characters are transmitted to kannel
correctly but on the mobile I receive ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ
If I send the following UTF-8 encoded request:
http://SERVER:PORT/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=USERpassword=PASSto=RECIPIENTtext=ABCD%c3%a4%c3%b6%c3%bc%c3%84%c3%96%c3%9c%c3%9fcharset=UTF-8from=SHORTNUMBER
smsbox.log says:
2007-04-03 11:29:12 [762] [3] INFO: sendsms
sender:smsSender:SHORTNUMBER (IPADDRESS) to:RECIPIENT
msg:ABCDäöüÃ84Ã96Ã9CÃ9F
The Mobile still receives ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ
It is interesting that at least ö, ä, Ö and Ä pass through correctly.
How can I find out, why ü, Ü and ß get garbled?
Regards,
Markus
