Nebachew - Nokia Platform Services Not Supporting Unicode SMS

I downloaded this http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/File:FlashLite_Send_SMS.zip application for testing. I tried sending unicode characters (amharic being one of my native languages). It works fine but on Delivery i received bad characters, question marks.

pls help if there is anything i can do to make this work?

Hamishwillee - @Nebachew - try the discussion board

HI Nebachew

I suggest you try the Flash discussion board: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/forumdisplay.php?172-Flash-Lite-on-Nokia-Devices . It is quite possible that there will be an answer here eventually, but if you want the right eyes on your problem now, the forums are the best place to start.

We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived. Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.

This code snippet demonstrates how to send an SMS message using the Messaging Platform Service for Flash Lite, supported from S60 5th Edition onwards.

// Import Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;

// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "Send SMS";
 
// Create a new Service object which has Messaging data
var messaging = new Service("Service.Messaging", "IMessaging");
 
// Send message when button pressed
send_mc.onPress = function() {
 
	// Body text and phone number from input boxes
	var contentText = message_txt.text;
	var to = mobile_txt.text;
	var inParams = {MessageType:"SMS", To:to, BodyText:contentText};
	var outParams = messaging.Send(inParams);
 
	// Check if Send success
	if (outParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
		mobile_txt.text = "";
		message_txt.text = "SMS send!";
	} else {
		mobile_txt.text = "";
		var errorId = outParams.ErrorCode;
		message_txt.text = "Error: "+errorId;
	}
}

Note: You need to enter the mobile number and body text to the text fields. Only the mobile number is mandatory. You can send the SMS by pressing "Send".
