i have built an application that sends an sms.
however, this sms cannot be read by a simple phone, only by a phone equipped with turbo sim.

so my question:
is there any setting in order to be this sms readable by any phone?

Yes, sure, PID=0x00, DCS=0x00. Look at e.g. smspal application for code/details, it sends normal text messages.

I have already tried PID=0x00 and DCS=0x00, but nothing. The code is:
#include <config.h>
#include <turbo/turbo.h>

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

u8 PROGMEM t_sms_ex[]="Example sms";
u8 PROGMEM t_ms[]="+306972257087";

void action_sms (void * data)
{
u8 * sms_data=malloc(100);
u8 * p;
u8 * ms=str2msisdn(t_ms, MSISDN_ADN, MEM_R);


//p=create_head_msg(sms, t_sms_ex); //header
memcpy(sms_data, t_sms_ex, sizeof(t_sms_ex)); //data - optional
// p+=sizeof(t_sms_ex);

send_sms(sms_data, sizeof(t_sms_ex), ms, MSISDN_ADN, 0x00, 0x00, NULL, NULL);

free(sms_data);
free(ms);
}

void turbo_handler (u8 action, void *data)
{
switch (action)
{
case ACTION_INSERT_MENU:
insert_menu (t_sms_ex);
break;
case ACTION_MENU_SELECTION:
stk_thread (action_sms, data);
break;
default:
break;
}
}

the fact is that I cannot read in a simple terminal the string: "Example sms"
Instead I get sth that is created by grouping the bits of the above string in septets (namely EpekuAA2 f5i).

what should I do?

"Normal" text messages are 7bit packed, i.e. it's not bytes (140 can fit into one SMS) but 160 chars. 0x00 DCS says 7 bit packed SMS, i.e. you store it as bytes but phone interprets it as 7bit default alphabet -> you see a trash. Use/see dcs_78() call. Or you may just say that DCS is 8bit - DCS_8_BIT_DATA. See 3.38 on coding definitions.

I see that smspal.c wasn't the best example because the packing is already done by phone, we request packed output in get_input().

[mike]

where can I find smspal.c?
I have read 3.38 and I used DCS for 8bits but the same result.

finally, I used dcs_78() function and everything was ok.

thanks very much for your help!
