Thanks, I'd be glad to hear of any response.

I spent a lot of time getting to the bottom of his problem. I'm
a software developer, and have just added proper support for
these extension-table characters in an SMS sending program of
mine. I couldn't get it working properly, and eventually
nailed my choice of a Telstra SIM for testing as the source of
the "bug".

The SMS packed PDU (Protocol Data Unit) User Data field I'm
sending is different from what I'm receiving. I can only
assume that Telstra is unpacking the message content (for
whatever reason), but is not putting it back together properly.

Just remove the "RemoveThis", and hope the spam filter gets it
right.
