Is your provider using SMPP v3.4? Yes, 9 C-OCTETs is the "standard". See SMPP v3.4 specification, section 4.1.1. I'm not sure about v3.3 or above 3.4 but Google should send you to the SMPP Forum where the protocol specifications live. > Would there be any problems if this was changed even if the > standard says 8 characters? Hmm... I would guess "no" but... violating standards... doesn't go down well with me. ;-) Better speak to your provider. -- Benjamin Lee Melbourne, AU +61.4.16.BEN.LEE http://www.realthought.net/ __________________________________________________________________________ Round Numbers are always false. -- Samuel Johnson
