Problems with Russian localization with BulkSms provider.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am unable to send an sms with Russian characters using latest smslib version 
via bulksms provider, I always get "?" instead of expected symbols.

Changing the message encoding to "MessageEncodings.ENCUCS2" before the sending 
(as it's recommended in the smslib documentation) does not help. Please see 
attached SendMessage.java example file to get more details.

I tried to debug it and it seems like final POST requests sent to the provider 
in the BulkSmsHttpGateway.sendMessage(OutboundMessage msg) method are the same 
both for the default and ENCUCS2 encoding.

Please note that I am successfully able to send Russian SMS to the same phone 
from the BulkSMS site, you only need to set "Unicode" switch for the message 
before the sending.

If unicode messages are not supported for BulkSMS, is there any other SMS 
provider for which it's possible?

Thank you in advance!

I've found one more problem: it's unable to send long messages using BulkSMS 
provider.

New attached patch improve the situation, however still I am unable to send 
messages longer than 70 symbols.

Hello,

As far as the patch is concerned, I will certainly check it in - thanks!

As for the multiparts, SMSLib has this feature enabled (check 
"allow_concat_text_sms" header). However, there are references in the BulkSMS 
site (for example, here: 
http://www.bulksms.com/int/docs/eapi/submission/send_sms/) that some features 
are route-specific. Have you tried to enable an "expensive" route? Did you 
contact BulkSMS?
