Re: urltrans question

Hi,

it should be converted by SMSC module. Which SMSC module do you use?
If it's SMPP you should try 'alt-charset' config option because your  
operator seems
to send message as LATIN1 per default.

Thanks,
Alex

P.S. This is not a Kannel bug it's misconfiguration as far as I see ;)
