Hello again and thanks for your patience.
I am doing the conversion like you suggested. If I use coding = 0 which is 7bit I greek characters like Δ appear like ? on my mobile device If I set coding = 1 which is 8bit then Greeks appear ok in the mobile but message is not 160 characters its less. In my conversion I convert Δ to %10 and so on. I even tried to add to each smsc configuration alt-charset. I tried values like iso8859-1 and LATIN1 but no luck. Everything looks right to me, and I cannot see why it doesn't work since everyone else claims that it should be that way I have read each and every post regarding encoding......

Greek is not straightforward in any way . there is a way to send text in 7-bit and in UCS-2. Greek capital characters are in the GSM0338 set so you can use them to send 7bit (encoding 0) or up to 160 characters per message, but you need to convert the Greek capital letters that do not exist in the set to their equivalent Latin characters, and you need to make sure that the whole message is in caps for the Greek letters Sending Greek text without GSM0338 conversion means that you need to use UCS-2 (encoding = 2) to send the messages or up to 70 characters per message. The actual encoding of your web page is irrelevant . Since you need to do hard core conversion to GSM0338 or a light conversion to UCS-2 you are free to choose the source encoding of your page. Admittedly using UTF8 is the most convenient way, but then that might be just me . Finally what you need to put in kannel is again irrelevant since you would need to do some conversion by hand before passing it on to kannel for transmission. If the above is not clear feel free to contact me. I don't charge that much per hour ;-) Dimitris Evmorfopoulos _____ From: Κωνσταντίνος Λιαδάκης [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CANT SEND GREEK CHARACTERS Hello, I am trying to send greek characters with kannel. I have tried using 1.4.1 and CVS version which I suppose they require different encodings. Can somebody help me clear things in my mind.. I need to know the following if possible: 1. the encoding my webpage must have 2. what coding I need to set for kannel 3. If I need to put in kannel.conf any charset values (iso-8859-1, utf, e.t.c) I would like some answers of the above questions for both stable release and CVS I have read documentation, and have tried almost any combination. SMSC I use are both smpp and UCP/EMI Thank you very much in advance for your help Kind regards Dinos No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
