Hello,
we're using Kannel 1.4.0 and are experiencing a problem with certain
characters.
One problem is that the @ sign doesn't correctly work when sending SMS
messages. The access logs display the sign correctly, but the PDU dump shows
character value 0. The $ sign has similar problems, in this case the PDU dump
shows character value 30. Both are shown as a dot next to the binary dump.
Has anyone had similar experiences? I've tried escaping these characters (\$
or $$, et cetera) but to no success, and I can't really find anything on-line
(most search engines don't even allow searching for @, $ and the likes)
whether this is a specific setting or configuration.
Find out what character set your remote SMSC is expecting, then force your
character set to that in your smsbox config.
alt-charset=ISO-8859-1
(where ISO-8859-1 is the charset your SMSC is expecting. Could be UTF-8,
UCS2, etc. I believe Kannel defaults to either UCS2 or ISO-8859-1, and if
you are in the Netherlands, I could assume it would be UTF-8...)
