Problem - localized SMS messages

[Guest maximr]

I have an unlocked Cingular 3125. I hooked up the Russian T9 dll and everything works perfectly fine - input, contact search - except for the SMS messages.

That is, when I compose a message in Russian, it looks fine, but the message arrives completely unreadable - all text except punctuation comes across as question marks (?).

I tried changing LCID's under HKML\nls to 1251 (windows cyrillic) or 866 (DOS Russian unicode) - all in vain.

Ideas?
