Learn the default 7 bit coded alphabet, which allows you to include 128 unique characters in a wireless message to any mobile phone. |
 |
|
The following is the default 7 bit coded alphabet for GSM and SMS capable phones. 7 bits means that exactly 128
characters can be sent and in order to maximize the amount of useful characters
that can be sent to mobile phones, the International Alphabet is used rather
than normal Ascii values. The following are acceptable characters and are understood by all mobile phones.
Note: The Simplewire SMS Software Development Kit hides all
conversions between Ascii/Unicode values and IA5 (International Alphabet) coded values.
Please use the following table to make sure that characters you use within your
code can be understood by most phones (limited in United States and Canada) in 7 bit mode.
