Dears,

How I can send SMS with body, containing TAB character?

When I'm trying send SMS with TAB character, I get Ç (Ç) character in Mobile phone.

Could you please try to map default data_coding to another .NET encoding using code

client.MapEncoding(DataCodings.Default, Encoding.ASCII);

also you can try to send message text in DataCodings.UCS2, but it affects sms segments number for long text.

Dear Alt,

I need to send messages with length more than 120 chars, and I'm can't use UCS2.

I was try to send in ASCII and UTF8, but the result is same.

client.MapEncoding(DataCodings.Default, Encoding.ASCII);

or

client.MapEncoding(DataCodings.Default, Encoding.UTF8);

Please reply.

What data_coding do you use when sending SubmitSm?
Sometimes SMSC requires to use another data_codding such as Latin1.

Dear Alt,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm using Default data coding:

<add key="SMPP_DATA_CODING" value="Default"/>

Could you ask SMSC technician what setting you should use to send TAB character.
Possible they always convert text to GMS encoding where TAB is Ç (&#199;)
