Hi Nikos, thanks for your reply. This is a dump from my bb logs:
67/00342/O/52/4894890/3311234567////////////0000/130810164028////4/0992/0041004E004F004E0020003300 3300380036003900320036003500380032002000430068006500200065007400E1002000680061006900200069006E00200066006F0074006F003F0020005100750061006E0074006F002000730065006900200061006C0074 0061003F00200052006900630063006100720064006F///1///////020108///49 you are right, this is a unicode message. The correct xser field is 020108 not 020100 (that indicate 7-bit message). Now, the problem is that kannel when receive this type of message pass it as is to my sms-service that response with syntax error. Can i resolve this issue with alt-charset on my smsc configuration? thanks in advance, regards 2010/8/16 Nikos Balkanas <[email protected]> > Hi, > > Kannel flags indicate unicode, not even binary.
