Can anyone give me an example on how to send a chinese SMS using PDU mode (AT Command set)??

Answer : Sending a Chinese SMS using PDU mode

I think to send Chinese SMS using PDU mode you need to use Unicode encoding for PDU format. PDU format is simpler for Unicode (16Bits) Encoding. Because you don't have to perform a 7bit compressing and decompressing. All you have to do is to swap hign and low byte.

To send SMS in pdu format, you need parse your sms into two parts of PDU. One is header for PDU to saved your phone information. Another is content of SMS.

For unicode format,

You must fellow the GSM_03.38 to encode this header and encode the content bytes in BigEnd.

The AT command sequences: (I have tried on Nokia and Erisson's phone)

// Reset modem
> ATZ
< OK
// Turn off echo
> ATE0
< OK
// Using PDU format
> AT+CMGF=0
< OK
// Set PDU length
> AT+CMGS=
< <
// After get '<' you can start to write pdu content
>
// Write a ending character
>< CTRL+Z>
< OK

Finish!
