Use PDUSpy from Nobbi (http://www.nobbi.com), great tool for decoding 
SMS PDUs. On Nobbis page you'll also find a good description (in german) 
of the 7-bit format (http://www.nobbi.com/sms_pdu.htm).

But before pasting the above hex-code into PDUSpy please prefix it with 
a valid header, for example: 010000810000xx where xx is the  number of 
bytes following,  for the above example it's 7B. And set "outgoing" and 
"no smsc header".

The user experience with Openwave OTAP is not very convincing, i suggest 
you use WAP Provisioning as it's an open standard and provides a much 
better interface. (It shows an "@" on the left Softkey and when pressing 
it shows the contents of the OTA message leaving the user to choose a 
free profile or to discard the settings. Openwave only shows a message 
in the display (like CB) that a profile has been successfully imported 
and when the user starts the browser it asks for a "PIN", which is not 
your SIM PIN (confusing!), my guess is that it's the P Parameter of the 
above message.

WAP Provisioning in S55 is not based on Openwave! The software-component 
is Siemens "self-made" based on the standards of the WAPForum (OMA).

I just tried it, text-mode is OK! (You can even enter it in another's 
mobile user-interface and send it from mobile to mobile)
