Well the issue with kannel is the Arabic keyword, sendin sms in Arabic is easy now, but how can you define an Arabic sms. We have overcome all difficulties in kannel except the Arabic keyword.

It must be something simple, we are generating a URL to send to SENDSMS, and the text seems to get messed up . we are encoding it, etc. in php but the arabic text turns into nothing (it just disappears) And we are unsure of how to even send a basic string over http get. Can anyone just give a small heads up on how to do this? http://*********:13131/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=***&password=***&charset=UCS -2&coding=2&to=+962796627292&text=arabictext&dlr-mask=19 Is this right? How can we test it just super simply?
