I am a registered client using ALT.SMS.SmppClient version 2.5.8.0 and I need to be able to send SMS in greek with maximum of 160 characters.
However, I need the message to be sent as a single sms, so as not to be charged for sending more than one SMS.
Can this be done with the library ?
I have tested with DataCoding.UCS2 and it works, HOWEVER, our message is sent in the format of three (3) SMS messages (1 SMS for every 70 chars of the message), so we end up paying 3 SMS every time we send a message of 160 chars.
I think that if I use DataCodings.Default, I am able to send message with 160 chars, correct?
However, when I am using the following code, instead of greek characters I see ? (question marks) when I receive the SMS on my phone.
Code: Select all
SmppClient client = null;
// code to connect to SMPP ...
// set data coding and submit mode...
DataCodings coding = DataCodings.Default;
SubmitMode mode = SubmitMode.ShortMessage;
// some text in greek upto 160 characters
string sMessageText = txtSMSMessage.Text.ToUpper();
//
// Send SMS ...
//
SubmitSmResp[] resp = client.SubmitText(
mode,
byte.Parse("0"),
byte.Parse("0"),
String.Empty,
byte.Parse("1"),
byte.Parse("1"),
"mobile number",
coding,
sMessageText);
