Unable to get balance from network provider #39

Closed sbendall closed 5 years ago

sbendall commented 5 years ago

If i text "BAL" to my service provider using a sim card in my phone i get the current balance returned to me by text, if i text the service provider using A6Lib i get a response;

New message at index: 1 2732 2019/01/04,13:51:04+00 Sorry, I didn't understand that. For information, text MENU to 2732, or visit mobile.asda.com

If i text "MENU" i get the same response. Is it possibly sending a wrong character format for the service provider to read via its automated service? - If so how and where am i best to change this

Hmm, I'm not sure, try texting a different phone to see if the message arrives correctly.

Arrives without any problems at all, only difference is that its an automated service so thought it might want a particular character set or something, cant seem to think of anything else it would be and the network provider would just roll their eyes if i called them :(

Hmm, yeah, that's odd... If it arrives at the other phone with no problem, I don't know if it's a library issue... Maybe try changing the format? There are two, although I don't remember how to change them offhand.
