Hello,

Got my sms out successfully. Now, as usual I am experiencing problems with Latvian alphabet. Letter 'ī', for example.

I can receive all letters correctly in data.MessageText but, when I send them out, they are broken...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Armands

Hello Armands,

Possible you need to specify another data_coding. Please ask SMSC technician which data coding and which text encoding you should use to put Latvian alphabet to work.

Here is described how you can configure SmppClient

Anyway UCS2 data coding should work for you, but it is not optimal way for sending long messages.
