Hope I remember this right... DCS = 0xF5 means the following: 1111 0101 ^^^^ ^^^^ |||| |||| |||| ||++--- Message Class 1 |||| |+----- 8-bit data |||| +------ Reserved ++++-------- Contains only data coding and message class info Therefore, I think you need to set the following when sending an SMS to your v1.3.1 Kannel: alt-dcs=1 coding=2 mclass=2 For Kannel versions after 1.3.1: alt-dcs=1 coding=1 mclass=1 See ya... d.c.
