Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

We have a requirement to send multi lingual SMS to users mobile number.
We are using JavaMail API for this. The only changes we have done to send SMS (instead of EMAIL) using a standard JavaMail code are –

1) Use the suffix @sms after the mobile number. For eg: 919923456789@sms.<domain>.com.
2) Use “text/plain” instead of “text/html” while setting the content type.

The SMS is sent fine for English and French but we get junk characters for languages like Japanese and Russian even on phones which support these languages.

Could anyone please advice on the below points –

1) Is this a limitation with respect to JavaMail? If yes, is there any other api that can be used?
2) Does some setting needs to be done in the SMS gateway to enable sending SMS in Japanese and Russian?
3) Does some setting needs to be done in the mobile phone to receive SMS in Japanese and Russian?


Any help on this issue will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Jacob
