SMS with ë or ï (6233)

I just found out that a SMS with words containing ë or ï (not tested voor ä or ü) gives problems sending the message.
It also breaks up a message with less than 160 characters in more than 1 parts.
Does anyone know if this is a software issue?

It seems that using any character that is not in the plain latin set converts the entire SMS to a different encoding (UTF-16 with two bytes per character?) and probably also adds some metadata to the message.
Effectively instead of 160 characters you may type only 70 in a single SMS.
I don't know if it is a "standard" way of encoding SMSes with non-latin characters or if it is a phone issue. Whatever it is, I don't like that they are charging us more than twice as much for SMS just because we are using our national characters.
Why don't they use the UTF-8 encoding, so popular today in computers and web? With UTF-8, latin characters are still encoded on one byte and only other national characters need two bytes.
The only reason I can think of is that operators just want to charge us more

Problems with software the update with Nokia 6233

Problems with software the update with Nokia 6233
Hello,
I have so far some-paints tries my software to update.
Each time the update procedure begins, sometime stands then on the telephone “test mode”.
On the computer wars I the reference in the update manager “connection to the telephone broken off” and wants the update to again start.
If I change my profile attitudes since that for example, then after a telephone restart again deleted.
What there can I make?

It sounds like your 5800 has the earpiece fault that was common with 5800's made before February.
You need to take it to a nokia care point for repair under warranty.

But after reset to manufacturer's default is still used.but do not send SMS with GSM in Vietnam
I tried doing the following steps:
Reset Content and All Setting.

Disable IMessage.
Changing SMSC number
But there is not.

Looking forward to the support from Apple
Thank you!

Well yes, you probably will have problems with your phone because a 'contract free' phone is NOT the same as a fully unlocked iPhone.
This is a user forum, so nobody here can really help you. As Sprint is your carrier in the US, then you need to contact them first. They are the only ones who can help you.

SMS with someone's contact details (vcard?) unreadable

I am on GSM 1.4.5. When I ask somebody to SMS me contact details of somebody else, I usually get an illegible SMS with e.g. QkVHSU46VkNBUkQNClZFUlNJT046Mi4xDQpOOm1vYjtQYXBzDQpURUw7UFJFRjtWT0lDRTorMzcy NTU1MTQwNjg[ending snipped]
It looks like webos does not recognise some vcard formats in SMS? Any workaround?

Send SMS with REST

Hi,
After I get some problems to install and configure OCSG, I think I can now start do develop, but I still have a problem: I've never work with REST neither OCSG, so I have no idea how to:
1 - deploy an application in OCSG
2 - the sintax to send SMS
Imagine that my OCSG is running on http://localhost:7003/
I've found this sample:
org.csapi.schema.parlayx.sms.send.v2_2.local.SendSms request = new org.csapi.schema.parlayx.sms.send.v2_2.local.SendSms();
SimpleReference sr = new SimpleReference();
sr.setEndpoint(new URI("http://localhost:8111/SmsNotificationService/services/SmsNotification?WSDL"));
sr.setCorrelator("cor188");
sr.setInterfaceName("InterfaceName");
ChargingInformation charging = new ChargingInformation();
charging.setAmount(new BigDecimal("1.1"));
charging.setCode("qwerty");
charging.setCurrency("USD");
charging.setDescription("some charging info");
sendInf.setCharging(charging);
URI[] uri = new URI[1];
uri[0] = new URI("1234");
request.setAddresses(uri);
request.setCharging(charging);
request.setReceiptRequest(sr);
request.setMessage("we are testing sms!");
request.setSenderName(“6001”);
org.csapi.schema.parlayx.sms.send.v2_2.local.SendSmsResponse response =
smport.sendSms(request);
String sendresult = response.getResult();
System.out.println("result: " + sendresult);
If I want to send an SMS in REST, without charging, how can I do that? Anyone have some examples of how to send SMS with REST through OCSG? Please, I need help, my deadline is so short...
Tks
Raquel

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

Can,t send sms with nokia 3250

please help.i am failing to send an sms with my nokia 3250.the problem only started recently but i was able to send sms before.if i send an sms it will say resend at maybe 3 to 4 minutes later. when the time comes it will say unable to send message. i installed sms accelerator but nothing changed. i verified the message center number but i still have the problem.pliz help me.

Hi,
Check the "Message validity" for the period that you
have set for resending messages. If it's short, set
it to "Maximum time". This will enable the Message
center to keep resending the mesages.
I hope this will solve the issue.
Regards.

IMessages being sent as SMS with Send as SMS turned off

I had an unhappy experience with iMessage. I had about a 1 1/2 hour period on 4/9 where my iMessages were being sent as SMS texts. I have Send as SMS set to Off and I have never had this happen before. I don't remember the iMessages screen changing to indicate it was sending as SMS.
Overall very strange since there should be no way that the messages were sent as SMS with Send as SMS turned off. This is a problem because I do not have a messaging plan since I don't use SMS so if it switches to SMS and I don't know it the charges could rack up. The hour and a half cost me $8 in SMS charges as it is.
If having Send as SMS set to off does not insure that messages are not sent as SMS texts then what will?

Yes, they were listed as SMS messages on my bill. I was texting all day with one person but it was only this 1 1/2 hour period that was changed to SMS. Nothing before or after that and it's never happened before to me. All very strange. The problem is that if this happened for a longer period it would get very costly and I would not notice it untill I got the bill.
I'm getting my gf to add her email address to her messages account and I will be messaging that from now on. Hopefully iMessage can't turn that into an SMS.
It would be great if there were some way to actually prevent iMessage from sending SMS, but the Send as SMS setting obviously does not work. The only other thing I can think is that it was sending the texts as MMS messages. There is not much if any documentation on the relationship between MMS, SMS, and iMesssage.

Re: Send SMS with Siemens TC35i

Can anyone tell me what java api I should use for sending SMS text messages through a siemens tc35i and if there is any good reference websites with sample code.
Thanks in Advance

No problem I can explain if you like:
1) many messages are sent in hurry - somobody dictates you a number and you think what to send - there's simply no time to enter number in address book
2) in general I don't like to enter ANY numbers on telephone in address book at all, Nokia has terrible PIM and calendar (and two-way PC sync), so I prefer to enter all data directly on PC in Outlook, and later sync it to Nokia (but not vice versa). That's separate issue, but also deserves to be mentioned here.
3) there are some service messages with my GSM provider, that have to be sent sometimes - to reset daily limits on incoming web-originated SMS, etc. It would be much easier just to "resend" this message.
4) sometimes my close people whom I ask something by SMS just forget to do what I'm asking, so it's easy just to resend SMS with same content to the same person, just to remind her/him I'm missing reply or action on their side.
More ideas? Enough for me....

Caller Identification ###### no SMS with code

N91 problem sending SMS with non English character...

Hello I own a N91 4GB version. I have upgraded to version 2.20.008. I checked recently and have not found a newer version available for download.
When composing an SMS a counter appears on the upper part of the screen, which shows how many characters remain and how many SMS(s) will be sent.
When I use my native language, i.e. Greek, the counter starts as usual with 160 characters. When I type the first character it drops to 69 characters and then it works correctly decreasing the counter by 1. The result is that the phone sends more than 1 SMS even if there are no more than 160 characters.
The problem does not appear if I use English characters.
Is there a way to fix this? Do other users have the same problem?

Hello alsanico,
I'm from Greece too.
I haven't seen N91's exact menu but i suppose it has similarities with my N95. They both run S60.
Settings-
General-
Personalisation-
Language-
Writing Language-Ellinika
If you have already made these settings then go to:
Messaging-
Options (left selection key)-
Settings-
Text Message-
Character encoding-
Reduced support
Hope this helps...

How to send an SMS with text and image

I'm trying to add a photo and text to an SMS but can't add anything in the body of the SMS. What do I need to do?

Hi Joe,
Yeah, that's been the method I've been testing with. Is there a way for AIR to access the Intent API?
Android code:
final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra("sms_body", msgText);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
i.setType("*/*");
startActivity(i);
Thanks

Send SMS with GSM Modems (D-Link DWM-156)

Hi
I am developing an application for GSM Modems (D-Link DWM-156) in C#.Net using AT commands. I have a problem sending English SMS. I try to send "hello", But I receive
"e2□y" in my phone or ...exept hello!
when I send "h"(one character) ,I receive correctly in my phone. but when 2 or more character for example "hello", ,I don't receive correctly in my phone.
serialPort1.DataBits = 8;
serialPort1.Parity = Parity.None;
serialPort1.StopBits = StopBits.One;
serialPort1.BaudRate = 9600;
serialPort1.PortName = comport;
serialPort1.DtrEnable = true;
serialPort1.RtsEnable = true;
serialPort1.Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
serialPort1.Open();
serialPort1.DiscardInBuffer();
serialPort1.DiscardOutBuffer();
serialPort1.Write("AT\n");
serialPort1.Write("AT+CMGF=1\n");
serialPort1.Write("AT+CSCS=\"PCCP437\"\n");
serialPort1.Write("AT+CMGS=\"09390150369\"\n");
serialPort1.Write("hello" + "\x1A")
I replace \n with \r.but it doesn't do correct too.

This is likely because your C# strings are unicode (wide). Use one-byte strings.

Sms with accented characters

Hi,
I hope somebody with some SMS/SMPP experience would be able to fix the problem or
advise as what to do. OK Now we have an application which is supposed to send an
SMS to a recipient on certain occassions and this SMS might contain accented characters.
Now in SMPP apparently we have three encoding schemes namely
1) 7 bit GSM encoding
2) 8 bit binary
3) UCS-2
Now the third one is out of question since it would reduce the size of the message
to 70 characters which is not acceptable. 2nd one which is 8 bit binary with I assume
DCS value 4(or at least thats what we are using) seems to support only latin characters.
It works for latin characters i.e., iso-8859-1 which does have some accented characters.
however for other than latin we have some problems e.g hex value for small phi in
greek (iso-8859-7) is f6. If you look at the corresponding value of f6 in Latin 1(iso-8859-1)
it is �. Now if you send greek characters setting the DCS value to 4 and u send three
phi's what you would recieve on the recipient device are three �. So it seems that
the 8 bit binary supports only iso-8859-1.
Now if I try to do some encoding into GSM 7 bit. and send three phi's thought I dont
recieve � but not phi's at the recieving end. The DCS value for the purpose I am
using is 0. How am I encoding it to GSM 7 bit.
I am creating the following array
private static final char [] GSM_7Bit_CHARACTERS = {
'@', '\243', '$', '\245', '\350', '\351', '\371', '\354', '\362', '\307',
'\n', '\330', '\370', '\r', '\305', '\345', '\u0394', '_', '\u03A6', '\u0393',
'\u039B', '\u03A9', '\u03A0', '\u03A8', '\u03A3', '\u0398', '\u039E', '\033',
'\306', '\346',
'\337', '\311', ' ', '!', '"', '#', '\244', '%', '&', '\'',
'(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/', '0', '1',
'2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', ':', ';',
'<', '=', '>', '?', '\241', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E',
'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O',
'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y',
'Z', '\304', '\326', '\321', '\334', '\247', '\277', 'a', 'b', 'c',
'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm',
'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w',
'x', 'y', 'z', '\344', '\366', '\361', '\374', '\340'
Storing all the values in a Map in teh same order and then for each character in the
message sending the byte value of the index. If I do a snoop in the snoop I see the
right hex values as per GSM Encoding table but on the recipient device I see garbage.
Any ideas as to how can greek and other european character set support be added to
this application?
Am I using the wrong DCS value or any body with some other ideas.

I don't know about the exact character sets for the 7 and 8-bit SMS, but I doubt it's any different then character sets for anything else... So, in this case, the 7-bit set will only be able to handle the first 128 chars, which is A-Za-z0-9 and some punctuation. 8-bit would go into the extended ASCII chars in the table here:
http://www.asciitable.com/
There might be some restrictions or differences.
Basically, 7-bit is ASCII. 8-bit is ASCII+Extended or ISO8895-1. The chars your talking about sending get into the other ISO8895-X sets, which I believe would be out of range. The USC-2 should give you these, however. So either you send shorter messages, or you send ASCII text.
It would also depeend on the device to be able to display those characters in the first place. Just like on any web site, if you don't have a font that has the necessary characters, it just displays as ? or a box or whatever.

Integration of SMS with Cisco LMS 3.2

Hi,
Need assistance to confirm if SMS alerts can be integration with LMS 3.2. If yes, could you please walk me though the process.
Rgds.....Navinder

No,
Trap email and syslog are possible from DFM for DFM alerts
Mail and script are possible from RME syslog handler
It is easy to create a sms mailgateway though.
Opensoure software that can sms via a gsm connected to pc is also easy to find. E;g; gnokii
Cheers,
Michel
