I don't get it... why %05? You are talking about the url, aren't you? something like "http://blubb/sendsms...&text=%05"; right? What kind of alphabet is your HTTP-client using??? I bet that your client doesn't speak GSM-alphabet. So when your client says "Here I am, I do UTF-8" the text also has to be coded in UTF-8. Don't do the gsm-coding outside kannel! Simply send the UTF-8 string to kannel and let kannel do the job.

Sorry, in my previous debug I encoded the "é" character using %E9. Now the encoded value is %05. As you can see in the attached logs, kannel gets empty sms.

Can you tell me the parameters you are using in send-sms url as you are succeding in sending these characters?

Are also other parameters that should be configured in SMSC group?

Attached are the debuf for two submit SM. First one using alt-dcs=1, and second one alt-dcs = 0

Thanks

As I run some services in german, I have a lot of "ÄÖÜäöüß"'s passing my kannel without any problem in GSM charset without any problem. So I really think it has something to do with the configuration. Maybe you can post a full debug of the smpp package, kannel is sending.

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.
