Hi Ahmed,

If I understood correctly you would like to send a SMS using an automation script. If this is the case, you could use the method engine.SendSms in the C# code action (please DataMiner Help for additional information).

Please keep in mind that the phone number will need to be added to the user that you plan to send the SMS (see Editing a user's details for more information about how to edit a user in a DMA)

Hi Ahmed,
Please could you let me know the vendor and model of the mobile gateway that you are using with DataMiner?

Hi Ahmed,

I am adding another answer so I can attach a screenshot. Please could you perform a small test? In System Center > Mobile Gateway, you have the option to send a text message:

Please could you send a text message including unicode characters and let us know what is the text displayed in the SMS message?

Checking the datasheet of the mobile gateway SMSEagle NXS-9700-3G/4G, the mobile gateway should support unicode characters.

DataMiner Help for reference: Sending a text message
