Hi, I know the limitation about the size. However, what I was trying to get at was testing if the partner SMSC is doing the "split" themselves. It seems the 2 parts wappush isn't reaching the phone, so we want to try with sending 1 big wappush to them. That was the reason I was looking at a way to disable the "concatenation" here.
Tips: Using a hex converter you can extract the important information from a wappush binary format.

A sms can contain a maximum of 140 Byte: A normal SMS has 160 characters in a charset of 7 bit, so: (160 * 7) / 8 = 140 Byte. But if you design a wappush-message (wappush is a binary message, not "human-readable" - actually with some training you can read it, but it's not designed for that) with more than 140 byte it gets splitted into several message which get concatenated by the receiver phone. So this is fragmentation not duplication. Because Wappush is binary you cannot simply cut off everything more than 140 Byte (and you surely don't want it, otherwise you would already had made it shorter before). If you want to put the whole wappush into one sms you have to make it shorter. So an important criteria for wappush is, that you use a URL as short as possible and a minimum of text. I am very aware of the cost of a sms, but if you go to ikea and buy a new wardrobe you have to drive several times, because it doesn't fit into your Nissan Micra all at once. Sorry for the silly metaphor - I saw too much "House,MD" the last week ;-) Regards Falko 2008/7/15 Aarno Syvänen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > remember the price of a sms.
