Speed

SIM card PIN code

SMS encoding

Different types of SMS encodings exist to accommodate various language needs in the world. Your system offers you the following options:

• 7-bit
• 8-bit (default)
• 16-bit

7-bit encryption allows you to use up to 160 characters per SMS, however it also limits the type of characters you can use.

8-bit encryption is the standard form of encryption with more special characters allowed. It allows you to use up to 140 characters per SMS.

16-bit encryption is necessary for non-Latin alphabet languages. Characters from, for example, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Cyrillic alphabet languages require 16-bit SMS encoding. If you use any of these languages in your organization, you must set your system to use 16-bit encoding. 16-bit has a limit of 70 characters per SMS.
