Gammu and PostgreSQL send 8bit sms

I'm working with Gammu and PostgreSQL to send sms from my computer. I have success sending a normal text sms.

But i have some problem now when trying to send 8bit (Binary) message to my devices. Here's my simple query to inject message to gammu 'outbox' table.

INSERT INTO outbox (
"DestinationNumber",
"Text",
"TextDecoded",
"Coding",
"UDH",
"CreatorID") VALUES (
'202555xxxx',
'02616A03776C66JF010000198C000403E800013003F200013003F30002323003F400023230',
'',
'8bit',
'06050407d50000',
'ConfigurationSMS');

as you can see 02616A03776C66JF010000198C000403E800013003F200013003F30002323003F400023230 is my SMS text encoded using hex values. The value is correct while in outbox table.

But when the message has been sent and i'm look on my inbox table, the Text value change to this 02616A03776C66BF0100000D8C000203E800013103F2000131FD00 00007400650073007400

Does anyone know why Gammu send different text? and how to prevent the changes occur? Thanks.

Solution

  • As mentioned before, there is invalid char in the HEX encoded string.

    But I think Gammu should complain on such error, so I'll work on fixing that upstream, see https://github.com/gammu/gammu/issues/185 for progress.
