Re: SMS with GSM character set

No, but mclass forces special DCS values. So when the mclass switch is set, the alt-dcs parameter is ignored. 

So, no help for you problem, sorry.

Is mclass related with GSM alphabet? I think it is used for flash SMS or other options. I didnt use it in fact. 
Should I?

Hi Falko,
We are SMSC provider at the same time :) And we use GSM charset. As I mentioned in another thread, sending these type of characters using 7-bit works from other smpp gateways, but from Kannel fails.

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.

HTH, Jovan
