The "deutschland" effect.
Many operator don't use the original GSM charset, but the so called "Mannesmann charset" (first used by Mannesmann D2). Due to this most operator ignore the DCS. Ask your provider, if they can activate the original GSM charset for you.

Hi,

I face the same problem:

- With alt-dcs = 0 I get the following
2009-05-05 22:22:33 [5168] [3] INFO: sendsms sender:<test2:1517> (10.1.21.146) to:<355672000000> msg:<>
2009-05-05 22:22:33 [5157] [7] DEBUG:   short_message: ""

The content is %00, but kannel converts it to empty space.

- With alt-dcs=1;
2009-05-05 22:23:48 [5168] [3] INFO: sendsms sender:<test2:1517> (10.1.21.146) to:<355672000000> msg:<>
2009-05-05 22:23:48 [5157] [7] DEBUG:   short_message: "?"

Try the following test:
set alt-dcs=0

send %00 as message text. Yyou should get the @ character if GSM 7 bit
encoding is used
If you don't get that character set
alt-dcs=1
and repeat the test.

If you get the @ character, by sendind %00 as message test, then try
the umlauts, you should get them on your ME.
