ASCII to PDU convertion and back

[DraguVaso]

Hi,

For my SMS-application I need to be able to send characters with accents
(like é and à). But this doesn't seem to work in Text Mode, so i will need
to do it in PDU Mode.

Does anybody has soem converting routines for that in VB.NET? I need my text
to be converted to a PDU-message, and back (for received messages).

Thansk in advance,

Pieter

How did you try to do it in text mode? You'll need to know the encoding
to use, of course. Note that characters with accents in *aren't* part
of ASCII.

information in it...

I tryed to set them just in ir, but that didn't work.
for exemple:
AT+GMGS="048611 2233"
This is my message with accents éà<Ctrl-Z>

Do you know the way to send the accents in text-mode? I assume it must
exist, but I can't find how :-(

Pieter,

I do not know this stuff however afaik is Frites written as you see here,
not Fàités.

I was curious so I have looked at some pages and I found unicode 8859-1

http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/

What is the standard in our language zone as far as I know.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252#Windows-1252

(And I am curious where do you use that à and what kind of keyboards do you
use Querty or Azerty?)

Well, what API are you using to submit the text to start with?

I'm not using an API: I'm using VB.NET 2005 with the SerialPort-object, if
that is what you mean...

Well, that *is* using an API. Anyway...

Anyway, how are you then writing the data to the port? Are you writing
a byte array, or a string? Either way, what encoding are you using?
