Operating system name and version: Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS (32 bits)
Version of smsd: 3.1.15
Smsd installed from: package repository
Name and model of a modem / phone: WAVECOM FASTRACK M1306B
Interface: serial

Hello.

I can't send any accentuated character. I've tried to use "Alphabet: UTF-8" in the SMS, cs_convert = yes in modem configuration and I've also used the "checkhandler". I read here that in 3.1.5 version the checkhandler and eventhandler are unnecessary, but I can't send special characters in any case.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

can you post your smsd.conf please ?

What's your charset env ?
Try locale into a terminal.

How did you wrote your sms (shell script, vi, php interface ...)?

Hello!

- SMS are wrote with php interface. We wirte SMS files directly (with emacs).

- Here is charset env:

root@server:~# locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Hi,

be sure your php files are in utf-8 too :

file -i /var/www/sms/sms.php

look for charset variable.

Use Alphabet: ISO into the sms file.


can you post the function who's writing the sms file ?

I've write this file directly in the sms server with emacs:


To: 34xxxxxxxxx
Alphabet: ISO

prueba7.ééíóú.


# file -i sms.txt
sms.txt: text/plain; charset=utf-8

In the phone we receive this:

prueba7.ééiou.

Only "e" is accentuated,"i", "o" and "u" not (I had a typo and I wrote ééíóú instead of áéíóú).

I can send only é and ñ/Ñ, but I can't include á, í, ó, ú.

Thanks.

Try with :
Alphabet: Unicode

I have received only Chinese (or Japanese -I don't know those languages-) characters.

Try
decode_unicode_text = yes

into GSM configuration and put
Alphabet: ISO

into sms file

If it doesn't work, try to send your message in binary mode (?)...

Good Luck

It doesn't work :-(.

How can I send a sms in binary mode? I was reading info about pdu mode but I don't understand well how can I do it. Can you give me an expample?

Thank you very much!

Look after this post :
http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/topic.php?id=509

When testing with
Alphabet: UNICODE

Did you convert your sms file in unicode ?

Check it :

Quote

file -i original_sms_file

try
iconv -f UTF-8 -t UNICODEBIG [i]original_sms_file[/i] > [i]new_sms_file[/i]

For sending binary message, sorry i never tested...

It works!!!

Thank you very much!!!!
