Readers,
I need some help. I have a GSM device Siemens MC35i Terminal and it only sends SMS as Flash. Can anyone give me the AT command to reset it back to a normal SMS that saves on the phone or memory.

Any help appreciated.

Franco,

You’re right: there is more than one way to specify a message with a message class. Not sure why they specified it this way though.

I had learned that a flash message requires a
DCS = hex->10 which is 00010000
I tried DCS = hex-> F4 which is 11110100
and receive the message as flash too.
According to the specs it should be a flash message
in both cases!.
Why would they have two DCS for same message?
Is there something else involved in this?
Your thoughts will be appreciated!.
regards
Franco

Flash SMS messages can be just as long as plain text SMS messages (which is 160 characters when using the GSM-7 alphabet). Flash messages can also be concatenated to create larger messages. Be sure to set the same DCS in all parts of the multi-part SMS message.
