Hi,

Is there a certain device where this happens?

We are testing on C3-00 and X3-02.

Hi,

Another thing to check is that the body of the sms consists of percent-encoded UTF-8 characters. It is possible that any extended characters in the body might cause problems. You can use Javascript's escape() function on the string to prepare it.

The length of the body should be the standard sms length. Aim for 140 if you are using extended characters and 160 if you only use plain (7 bit) ASCII.

For various examples you can refer to the wiki article.

Hopefully it is not a newly introduced bug in the latest Nokia Browser.

Hi,

I tried with C3-00 and X3-02 and both of the links work fine for me.
However special characters like "Ö Ä" etc.. do not work properly in C3-00 and X3-02.
This is not a new bug, since they did not work with 1.5 Browser in the first place.
Proper way to escape SMS is to use encodeURI()

I'll try to find more facts on special character usage in SMS for you. I'll be back to you a soon as I know more.

I'm afraid I am no longer able to test these scenarios on a handset. I wanted to see what the trailing space, highlighted in red above, would do. Only the body of the sms needs to be encoded and that space should be converted with the rest of the body text into a '%20'.

I did find that the sms URI handling in Nokia Browser was very black and white. What I mean by this is that it is not very forgiving if you pass it something it cannot handle. It won't try to figure the content of the sms URI out and it will fail silently. So a space or extended character in the body text or a badly formed parameter should cause it to not work.

Hi,

A bug report was created for special characters not working in SMS in older devices. So at the moment it is a known issue.
Good news is, that special characters do work properly in new full touch devices.
