URL Encoding

=20

Character encoding

=20

You must url encode your message and orig parameters for more informatio= n on url encoding.

=20

You need to ensure the string data (message etc) is UTF-8 encoded and th= e header is also set to UTF-8. If you start seeing ? in your test messages = it will be because of incorrect encoding, probably ISO-8859-1.

Concatenation

=20

Changing = the delivery report view

=20

If you exceed 160 characters you automatically covert to concatenation s= ending, this has the following connotations. Each message consists of a 153= character =E2=80=98chunk=E2=80=99 (not 160 chars) the extra characters are= used to glue the messages together. Therefore a message that is 307 charac= ters long will require 3 messages to send.HTTPS / SSL Support.

You can also use the API using encryption, just use port 443 or ht= tps:// depending on your programming language support.

=20

When you log in to you account and select =E2=80=9Creports=E2=80= =9D=3D>=E2=80=9Ddelivery reports=E2=80=9D by default the data s= ummary is a day by day usage report, if you are using the custom parameter = to highlight =E2=80=9Cgroups=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=9Csub accounts=E2=80=9D of = usage you can change this default view to one that splits the data into mon= thly reports based on the parameter you have set.

To do this whilst in your account =E2=80=9CAccount Settings= =E2=80=9D =3D> =E2=80=9CAPI Settings=E2=80=9D and tick the API = Delivery Report View check box.
