SMS Encoding

[Borut Milič]

MTR-H6-B16

Is there any option to specify string encoding when using SMS API? Something like

http://192.168.2.1%5B:portnumber%5D/sendmsg?user=user1&passwd=puser1&cat=1%5B
&enc=0]&to=”7657867765”&text=message

in iSMS API?

enc Encoding type to send SMS(Optional field)
Range: 0 to 3
0 – SMS text should be in ASCII form
1 – SMS text should be in Extended ASCII form
…

I am getting strange characters on the mobile, for example | or _ are substituted with ö and section sign.

You guys really have bad API documentation, i didn’t find it even just for sending sms, had to inspect request in chrome..

Borut,

No, there’s not an option for that. And yes, you are correct, the API doc really needs updating!

Borut,
Are you seeing the character problem on the iSMS?

If you want to use special characters in 7-bit ASCII on the iSMS, I would suggest upgrading to v1.51.28. Once you upgrade to v1.51.28 then enable PDU mode and set the ASCII 7-bit Configuration’s Character Set to “3GPP 23.038”. Both of these settings are in the SMS settings menu after upgrading.

Note: this is for the iSMS only.

Bryan,

In his post, he noted he’s using a MTR-H6-B16.
