Hi, in theory 7bit GSM alphabet is used. But many operators reject some characters from this set (I don't know if there is a list of allowed characters in senderaddresses in general, maybe somewhere in GSM 03.40 or 04.11). In general sender and receiver addresses are configured by TON and NPI but an alternative charset cannot be chosen (more precisly: I don't remember that to be possible but I don't know where this is written down)
