thanx navjot for the reply. i got this from the kannel mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02367.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00099.html
"section 4.4 submit_sm says that a short_message is field type Octet String. Section 2.11 defines this as "Octet String A series of octets, not necessarily NULL terminated". 7bit characters are not octets, they are septets. However, you could argue that by packing them, you are transferring them as octets thereby fulfilling the spec. Having said that, SMPP does not define any method to tell you that the datais in fact packed. Section 5.2.19 data_coding *is not* the GSM DCS field even though most SMSC's use it as such. SMPP uses data_coding merely as acharacter set indicator & breaks other functions of GSM03.38 DCS out intoother fields. SMPP data_coding does not allow for indication of packed data& there is no other field available to indicate that the data is packed." problem is that my SMSC expects the message to be packed in 7-bits i suppose, i have much to hold my provider by neck.
