Hi Markus,
Have you tried with another SMSC connection.
I know that TDC in Denmark for instance can't handle the swedish
characters ÄÖ, and they will replace it with hte danosh characters ÆØ.
I'm not sure, but it might be the issue, so try to test it with another
SMSC, or try asking Vodafone.

Hi,
I have a problem sending special characters in mobile terminated
messages through Kannel.
The Setup: Debian (Sarge), Kannel 1.4.1 (from .deb packages), libxml
2.6.16-7
SMSC: Vodafone Germany, EMI
The Problem: I want to send the following test message: ABCDäöüÄÖÜß
Each time I send this message I receive ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ on the mobile phone.
Here are my requests to kannel:
ISO-8859-1 encoded:
http://SERVER:PORT/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=USER&password=PASS&to=RECIPIENT&text=ABCD%e4%f6%fc%c4%d6%dc%df&charset=ISO-8859-1&from=SHORTNUMBER
smsbox.log says:
2007-04-03 11:23:49 [762] [3] INFO: sendsms
sender:<smsSender:SHORTNUMBER> (IPADDRESS) to:<RECIPIENT>
msg:<ABCDäöüÄÖÜß>
This at least tells me that the characters are transmitted to kannel
correctly but on the mobile I receive ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ
If I send the following UTF-8 encoded request:
http://SERVER:PORT/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=USER&password=PASS&to=RECIPIENT&text=ABCD%c3%a4%c3%b6%c3%bc%c3%84%c3%96%c3%9c%c3%9f&charset=UTF-8&from=SHORTNUMBER
smsbox.log says:
2007-04-03 11:29:12 [762] [3] INFO: sendsms
sender:<smsSender:SHORTNUMBER> (IPADDRESS) to:<RECIPIENT>
msg:<ABCDäöüÃ<84>Ã<96>Ã<9C>Ã<9F>>
The Mobile still receives ABCDäößÄÖ§ñ
It is interesting that at least ö, ä, Ö and Ä pass through correctly.
How can I find out, why ü, Ü and ß get garbled?
Regards,
Markus
