Hi Petros,
Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is to send the messages like this:

ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ = KA%14HMEPA

using the URL encoding for the GSM 7-bit alphabet which is working fine.
The important thing to note in this case, is that all letters that look 
the same in the second part are latin (ie capital latin (ascii) ``K'', 
capital ``A'' etc).
The greek letters that are defined in this charset are the ones that 
differ in appearance with latin ones.

Is there a way to send small greek letter also?
Not without resorting to unicode.. But then you'd be giving up at 160 
chars per sms.
And is there any tool available for converting Greek text to encoded 
text?
Not really, but is trivial to write one (example in perl), the letters 
that are of interest are:
$delta = chr(0x10);
$phi = chr(0x12);
$gamma = chr(0x13);
$lambda = chr(0x14);
$omega = chr(0x15);
$pi = chr(0x16);
$psi = chr(0x17);
$sigma = chr(0x18);
$theta = chr(0x19);
$ksi = chr(0x1A);

$sms =~ tr/Φ/$phi/;
#etc....
of course, you should also tr/Α/A/; (capital greek iso-8859-7 ``A'' to 
ascii ``A'') if you have no control over the input - and maybe even if 
you do... you get the point

Thanks

    Hi George,

    I have a feeling that the url you are triggering wont work, since
    you need to encode the Greek part of it first.

    Have a look at http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-code.html

    Cheers
