Question

Hello,
is there any way to change limit in CLI to send longer sms. Now i can send max 4 parts of that one message because of this limit.

limit seems 510

Answer 1

Hello,

512 characters is a limit hardcoded in the firmware, with the following variable in the .config file in the SDK:

• CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_MAX_LEN=512

In order to increase this value you would need to modify the .config file and compile your own firmware using SDK. SDK for the latest firmware can be downloaded from here. For instructions on how to set it up, please refer here.

As a workaround, if possible, depending on the contents of messages, maybe they could be stored in script files, and, instead of typing messages in the CLI, you could simply execute the script.

Best regards,

Hello,
thank you for your info and yes i'm using "gsmctl -send-b64" now to send longer messages but still would be nice to be able to use with api directly.
