Sending Greek characters using HTTP SMS

The HTTP SMS library allows you to send upper case Greek characters.

In order to send a Greek character you must set the data coding (DC) option of the HTTP SMS request to 6 (or 7 for a flash message).

For information about data coding and other options please consult the HTTP SMS Specification Document article.

If you are not sending a GSM encoded message then you will need to set the message data coding scheme appropriately (2 for a binary message, 4 for a Unicode (UCS2) message or 5 for a flash UCS2 message) and then just use the correct code in your message for the symbol you want.

So, for example, if you are sending the Greek letter Π (Pi) in a GSM message you would set the DC option to 6 (or 7 for a flash message) and then include the GSM code for Π in your message: 16.

We have provided you with a tool that will convert your message into hex, GSM or Unicode (UCS2)- you can access this utility at any time by logging into your online account on our website and selecting Support > Online Encoding Tools.
