Use an SMS gateway that doesn't support UTF-8 encoding
Is it possible to use an SMS gateway that doesn’t support utf-8 encoding?
Answer
If receiving SMS gateway supports for example latin encoding and we only support utf-8 you need to use this kind of workaround:
Example SMS message: kertakäyttösalasanasi
SMS gateway expects ä as %E4 and ö as %F6 so we configure in uas.properties:
SMS_TEXT = {0} on kertak\u0025E4ytt\u0025F6salasanasi
Result depends on the receiving gateway.
