Should it be possible to send sms's of more than 160 characters ?

[ninebladed]

Hi

I am running pyhumod-0.02 on ubuntu 9.04 with an E220.

Should it be possible to send an sms with more than 160 characters ?
(i.e. behind the scenes, multiple concatenated sms's)

Below is the error message I get when I attempt to send messages of
more than 160 characters.

I'm afraid that sending concatenated SMS is only possible in the PDU
mode. PyHumod in it's current version only implements the simple text
mode SMS support.

I will look into it in the future versions, but will have to invest
some time first in learning about the PDU mode SMS messaging. I will
keep you posted.

Hi oozie

I see. I didn't realise PDU mode was required for 160+ messages.

I have no experience with PDU forming so I can't offer much help other
than a few links courtesy of those nice people at Google.

Thanks for all your good work so far.

Hi oozie

I just came across this code snippet,
http://code.google.com/p/phonetooth/source/browse/trunk/phonetooth/sms.py

At a glance, it looks to be a very comprehensive collection of PDU
forming code.
I do wonder if it could be used in pyhumod, GPL and functionality
permitting.

As usual apologies for a very late answer.

The code is a good read, thanks. While functionality is certainly
there, I'd like to keep PyHumod 100% BSD licensed.
I understand that you need PDU SMSes so I will try to shift this
towards the top of the priority list. Hopefully I'll have some more
time to sit down on that in the upcoming weeks.

Hi oozie

pdu sms functionality would be great but please don't feel under any pressure to get it done.
I appreciate the work you have put into pyhumod so far.
