Hello Damon,
Thanks for the detailed description.
Based on my understanding, now the XML gateway sends and receiveds the data
by usign GSM encoding. So the '' is '$' after the encoding. Please post
here if I have misunderstood anything.
If the GSM character set doesn't inlcude '$', I think we need to transfer
it manually. That is to say, we need to create a customized class to encode
the xml string before transferring it to GSM gateway. Then decoding work
should also be done by ourselves.
We are not sure of if there is any setting in GSM gateway side to avoid it.
You need to post in their group for more information. It is very possible
that they have existing encoding class already.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,

!I've found out the reason why these hexadecimal values are coming up in the
!XML request. It is because the request is GSM encoded as its an XML gateway
!for sending and receiving SMS messages.
!
!This means that letters such as a-z come through fine but characters such
as
!$ which is 2 in the GSM character set throws the below error.
!
!What I'm not sure on is how to do the conversion to and from GSM. I'm
!getting the response back from the other server using a StreamReader which
!defaults to UTF8 encoding.
!
!In order to do this conversion will I need to create my own encoding object
!and then change the encoding type on the StreamReader to be something like
!GSMEncoding or is there another way?
!
!Cheers
