Abstract

Mobile Network Operator (MNO) subscribers are often surprised of Short Message Service (SMS) taxation because they ignore the number of part or segment of short message sent. The purpose of this research is to present a method to optimize the number of segments of SMS especially for multipart. A subscriber will be charged with minimum possible of segment. Commonly, GSM networks use as SMS encoding GSM-7 and UCS-2. The maximum character is very limited with UCS-2 encoding, so we will convert the encoding from UCS-2 to GSM-7 which supports more characters. It means that an application must be installed at end user Mobile Station (MS) which treats the original message before crossing GSM network. The called party has the same application to convert the receive message to the original one.
