SMPP v3.4 support many character set delivery types but SMPP v3.3 doesn't, and the way the SMPP driver in kannel is written, it supports only the v3.3 style of character coding which limits us to GSM 03.38 (7bit), iso-8859-1 (8bit) or UCS-2 (unicode). Changing the SMPP implementation to support the v3.4 supported charsets is on my todo list, but it wouldn't help any as Kannel does not currently have an infrastructure to support arbitary chracter sets (or just anything besides the 3 coding styles).
Currently to send anything other the ISO-8859-1 on SMPP you need to either deliver everything in unicode (UCS-2) or to hack the driver to support your specific charset. -- Oded Arbel m-Wise Mobile Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: +972-67-340014 Tel: +972-9-9581711 (ext: 116) ::..
