Re: Problems receiving @ symbol in cvs-20030811

Bill,

As Andreas says, it is indeed the SMPP provider. Is your provider
M081L3way? Many months ago, I pointed out to them the incorrect GSM
encoding of the @ character on MO messages... and they may not have
fixed it yet -- don't take my word for it though, I haven't retested
in a while.

Cheers,
Ben.
