Hello. First of all ALWAYS use latest kannel version (best is to compile from SVN) before reporting any issues.
Secondly, make sure you are urlencode-ing text before passing it to smsbox / sqlbox. Thirdly, set coding=2 as an smsbox/sqlbox parameter Fourthly, set charset=utf8 as an smsbox/sqlbox parameter. Also, there was a bug with encoding with 1.4.2 1.5.0 published on the website, that's why I said once again use ONLY latest kannel / sqlbox / smsbox version to avoid repeating same bugs over and over again. You might try as well omitting any alt-charset parameters from your kannel.conf configuration, because it should work even without it. 2017-04-02 22:57 GMT+03:00 Davor Spasoski <davor.spaso...@onevip.mk>: > Dear kannel users&developers, > > > > Can someone give precise information what happens encoding wise from > smsbox to SMSC.
