As Nikos pointed out, If you want to save on payload (number of characters that you can send in one sms) and use the same service to send in different character sets the wisest solution would be to set alt-dcs, coding, charset and every other relevant parameter on per sms basis. Just specify these parameters in the cgi-bin/sendsms url. This means when you want to use Greek characters you'll use the default GSM 7 alphabet (alt-dcs = 0 or alt-dcs = 1 depending on the default alphabet used by the SMSC), for Chinese and Hindi use UTF-8 encoding (charset =utf-8 coding = 2).
