I have tried alt-dcs=1, coding=2 and mclass=2 but when we run a trace at the SMS-C, we realize that this results in DCS=0x15 (00010101) instead of 0xF5 (11110101) implying that the left most three bits have not been set. Is there a way I can ensure they are also set to '1'? Looks like they are not used anyway however with 0x15, the message (logo) can be displayed on the phone but can not be saved. J.
