Hi,

It should. Have you tried it?

Subject: SMS billing and encoding


Now that kannel uses UTF-8 characters in order to receive SMS contents
to be delivered, I'm evaluating optional billings at smsc...

so, if with version 1.4.1 of kannel I would have written:
http://localhost:14000/cgi-bin/sendsms?text=%E8 in order to send out
the character "θ" (which is iso-8859-1)
with version 1.4.3 I have to write:
http://localhost:14000/cgi-bin/sendsms?text=%C3%A8

as %C3%A8 is the UTF-8 rappresentation of the %E8

If I'm sending standard text 160 character MT SMS, each char is 7 bit
and for each 160 chars I get billed for 1 SMS.

I'm expecting kannel to send to the smsc only the correct characters
converted in the right encoding (based on coding= and charset=
variables) and not using UTF-8 by default, is that correct ?

Recap:
I'm I correct when saying that kannel will use for internal/external
communication UTF-8 chars but for smsc communication the encoding is
what is set via coding/charset ?
