Hi George,
No, it's not possible, as far as I know the 160 chars is per 7-bit GSM
text service, if you use 8 bit then (as Spyros suggested) you fall to
140 chars per message. I too suspect that your phone / Greek operators
spare two messages per message (if it's true that you can send 160
chars lower case greek in one message, which I beleive it is..)

Petros,
When i said about the length of kannel i am mean the lenght of the SMS
that kannel can handle. I know what you mean.
the issue is that if i decide to send Greek small letters with
&coding=2&charset=CP1253 then i give up the 160 chars per SMS.
Is there anyway to send this kind of SMS (small Greek) and still have
the 160 chars per SMS (like happens when i am using my mobile)?
Thanks

Hi,
The length of the kannel url that sends the message has nothing to do
with the length of the actual message (well, it's related obviously,
but if you UTF8 encode or use unicode, the relation isn't one to one
anymore).

Hi Thanos,
Thanks also for the reply, i know what you mean about the KA (which
indeed are latin characters) and i am using this way and its fine.
As far as the Greek small letters, i managed to send small letters also
by using :
..text=Γεια σου Θανο&coding=2&charset=CP1253
But this way as you said i give up the 160 characters per SMS.
Is there any way to manage to send small letters but still keep the 160
chars per SMS. I mean since i can do it from my mobile (TIM) why not
through kannel? Does kannel missing a special charest or coding to do
that?
Thanks

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.

Not without resorting to unicode.. But then you'd be giving up at 160
chars per sms.

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
