In the SMPP spec, data_coding 0 is SMSC Default (GSM) and 1 is ASCII.

However, some carrier (perhaps yours) default to a non-standard encoding
for data_coding=0.  This is what the "alt-charset" setting in your config
file is for.  Search for alt-charset in this document to learn more:
http://www.kannel.org/download/1.5.0/userguide-1.5.0/userguide.html

If you're using the smsbox HTTP interface to send messages through kannel,
there's a parameter called "coding."  Setting this parameter to 0, 1, or 2
sets the data_coding to 0, 4, and 8 respectively.  As far as I know there
isn't a way to request the data_coding with a specific parameter (I asked
this of the list last week, but it ended up being irrelevant to my
concerns).
