Problems with German umlauts (Ää,Öö,Üü,ß)

[Alex Warden]

Hallo,

I’m triyng to send some german umlauts over iSMS, but receiving only empty spaces. How can I fix it?

http://smsgateway.xxxxx.de/sendmsg?user=admin&passwd=xyz&cat=1&enc=0&to=0123456789&priority=3&text=Ae-Ä-%C4%0AA-A-%41

This is how iSMS receives the data:

Ae-Ä-Ä
A-A-A

And this is how it gets sent to phones:

Ae- - 
A-A-A

With the “3GPP 23.038″ Char-set the line feed (%0A) gets sent correctly, but %C4 notation of Ä still doesn’t work :/

I’m using iSMS Model Number: SF100-G, Firmware Version 1.51.28.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,
Make sure that “Enable PDU Mode” is enabled in the SMS Settings menu.

Any special characters should be URL encoded in the sendmsg request.

Below is a sendmsg request example for sending the sms message “Ää,Öö,Üü,ß”:
