Hi Nick,
SMS can hold 160 B of 7bit chars or 140 B of 8bit chars (+/- some UDF
headers). Half of that for Unicode. ASCII characters are 7bit, Greek are
8bit. If you choose to send them as Unicode it is 70 B.
In your URL coding=0 corresponds to 7bit coding. Wrong one for Greek. Try
with coding 2 (Unicode) or coding 1 (8bit).
BR,
Nikos

Subject: kannel and greek characters
Hello all
I try to send greek sms 160 characters long with kannel with no luck
I can send 70 characters Unicode messages successfully, but cant send 160
char long messages
I have installed kannel on 2 linux servers, one with centos 4.6 and one
with centos 5.1
I have installed the latest version 1.4.3 and the latest cvs version
I have compiled both version with and without the greek patch bellow
http://www.kannel.org/pipermail/users/2006-July/000040.html
I have read and followed all post with keyword "greek" in both users and
developers mailing list
No luck
According the posts in the mailling list, when i send
http://192.168.0.1:13131/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=****&pass=****&to=306977000000&coding=0&text=KA%14HMEPA
(%14 = greek letter Λ)
it suppose to send the message ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ
It does not.
I get ?????? or sometimes _____
I have tried countless combinations of all available query string and
config variables (coding charset alt charset etc)
Since i know that many users are using kannel and send greek characters
successfully,
i am sure am missing something, but i cant figure out what it is.
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you
