Basically, you have two ways of sending Greek alphabet, either using the UTF-8 or by using Greek capital which are part of the default GSM encoding. If you use the second method, which have the 160 characters per SMS advantage over UTF-8, try setting alt-dcs=1 that will guarantee using the default GSM encoding. Also make sure you actually encode those characters properly by using its appropriate hex code (http://www.visualtron.com/bit_default_alphabet.htm ), not by just typing those characters in Windows (UTF-8)
BTW, this works for sure, I tried this.

I am posting my message (UTF-8) to the smsbox using HTTP, but once the message reaches the phone certain characters are converted to strange combinations of characters. For example, I can send a plain english message perfectly and the phone will receive it as it should. However, once I start using greek characters which are inside the default GSM alphabet the message which is delivered to the phone becomes "corrupt" and appears not as it perhaps should. Is there a fix that any of you know to help me with this problem, or can explain where I am going wrong? Thanks COSMOFON - Mobile Telecommunications Services - A.D.
