Yes, but in doing so you waste half of the SMS capacity. With Jovan's sugestion you don't.

I understand what you mean but what i have decided now is to actually do Percent encoding for URIs for text message. Doing this will help send message in any language. I did same & used http interface of kannel & it works fine for sending any symbol's Euro or chinese language symbol etc though i have to set coding=2 & charset=utf-8. For example http://ip:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=test&password=test&to=111111&smsc=testsmsc&from=12345&text=%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC%E2%82%AC&coding=2&charset=UTF-8 But if i do same using sqlbox it doesn't works fine. Can you kindly help ?

The Euro sign is not defined in the defaut 7bit GSM 03.38. For the Euro sign you have to use ISO-8859 charset. This means you'll have to use ISO-8859 encoding for the message text. alt-dcs = 0 and set the proper codes for these characters. http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/default_alphabet.html BR, Jovan
