First, I would like to thank for this library.

I have used the SubmitText method, but I couldn't see any change in the sent data when changing the SubmitMode from ShortMessage to Payload.

I also want to know if it is possible to send Text as ASCII bytes instead of Unicode characters, which require two octets for each character. This is a waste of you only send English characters.

Awaiting your reply

When you use ShortMessage mode, you send long messages with altered UDHI flag, message parts in short_message field and reference number in its User-Data-Header.
When you use Payload mode, you send long messages in the optional parameters message_payload, sar_msg_ref_num, sar_total_segments, sar_segment_seqnum.


Current version does't support other encoding besides Unicode.
You should wait when I release new version.

Version with ASCII encoding now available.

You can download ALT.SMS.SmppClient 1.2 + Demo for .NET 1.1 , 2.0 and Mono

Please test it.

Thanks a lot for this feature. It will really help optimize the application I am developing.

As for the payload feature, I noticed the difference in output when I send messages longer than 65 Unicode charcters. However, I think that the payload feild can hold up to 64k, which is not implemented in the library. Any reason for that?

Thanks again.

you can use SmppClient.ShortMessageMaxBytes to increase bytes number in message_payload field or in short_message for one part of SubmitSm. Default is 140 bytes.
But maximum length depends on SMSC you connect to.

Thanks for your support.

I will be testing the new features during this week.
