I'm looking for a nice online converter which could work with several modems. The problem i'm dealing with - i can't send sms in pdu mode (with Cinterion BGS-2T). Tried with my own library (still working on it) and several online converters such as:
User data seems to be encoded well (same result everywhere), but the first part of TPDU (with PDU-Type, TP-MR, ...) may be a little bit variable (but never works, damn).
Few moments:
If it necessary here is part of my own code:
void get_pdu_string(sms_descriptor* sms, char dst[]) {
char tempnum[8] = "";
char* pTemp = dst;
uint8_t i = 0;
// SMSC
//*pTemp++ = 0x00;
// PDU-Type
*pTemp++ = (0<<TP_MTIH) | (1<<TP_MTIL); // MTI = 01 - outbox sms
// TP-MR
*pTemp++ = 0x00; // unnecessary
// TP-DA
*pTemp++ = strlen(sms->to_number); // address number length
*pTemp++ = 0x91; // address number format (0x91 - international)
gsm_number_swap(sms->to_number,tempnum);
i = (((*(pTemp-2) & 0x01) == 0x01)? (*(pTemp-2)+1) : *(pTemp-2))>>1;
strncpy(pTemp, tempnum, i ); // address number
pTemp += i;
// TP-PID
*pTemp++ = 0;
// TP-DCS
switch(sms->encoding) {
case SMS_7BIT_ENC:
*pTemp++ = 0x00;
break;
case SMS_UCS2_ENC:
*pTemp++ = 0x08;
break;
}
if (sms->flash == 1)
*(pTemp-1) |= 0x10;
// TP-VP
// skip if does not need
// TP-UDL
switch(sms->encoding) {
case SMS_7BIT_ENC:
*pTemp++ = strlen(sms->msg);
break;
case SMS_UCS2_ENC:
*pTemp++ = strlen(sms->msg) << 1;
break;
}
// TP-UD
switch(sms->encoding) {
case SMS_7BIT_ENC: {
char packed_msg[140] = "";
char* pMsg = packed_msg;
gsm_7bit_enc(sms->msg, packed_msg);
while(*pMsg != 0)
*pTemp++ = *pMsg++;
} break;
case SMS_UCS2_ENC: {
wchar_t wmsg[70] = L"";
wchar_t* pMsg = wmsg;
strtoucs2(sms->msg, wmsg, METHOD_TABLE);
while(*pMsg != 0) {
*pTemp++ = (char) (*pMsg >> 8);
*pTemp++ = (char) (*pMsg++);
}
} break;
}
*pTemp = 0x1A;
return;
}
Example of my routine work:
To: 380933522620
Message: Hello! Test SMS in GSM-7
Encoded PDU string:
00 01 00 0C 81 83 90 33 25 62 02 00 00 18 C8 32 9B FD 0E 81 A8 E5 39 1D 34 6D 4E 41 69 37 E8 38 6D B6 6E 1A
Details about PDU string:
1. 00 - skipped SMSC
2. 01 - PDU-Type
3. 00 - TP-MR
4. 0C - length of To number.
5. 81 - type of number (unknown, also tried 0x91 which is international)
6. 83 90 33 25 62 02 - To number
7. 00 - TP-PID
8. 00 - TP-DCS (GSM 7bit, default SMS class)
9. 18 - TP-UD (24 letters)
10. C8 32 ... B6 6E - packed message
11. 1A - ctrl+z
Problem is fixed. I was sending message not as hex string but as binary, silly me :(
