 . I make a successful call of Send_Plain but then, on the phone I get message: "Free Msg: Unable to send message to 12125555555. Please try again without a symbol in the text". Why?
 * This means that you are trying to send UNICODE encoded messages to a carrier that does not support UNICODE (most US carriers do not support UNICODE). Please use value Seven in the Encoding field when calling Send_Plain or Send_Plain_Dedicated functions.

 . After I create a Service Reference to http://api.upsidewireless.com/soap/SMS.asmx in Visual Studio, I do not have the "SMS" object available to be able to create an object. I only have SMSSoapClient. When I instantiate SMSSoapClient sms = new SMSSoapClient(); I get an error. Do I have to configure the endpoint?
 * Use  SMSSoapClient sms = new SMSSoapClient("SMSSoap");

 . Occassionally I get exception when calling one of your functions. What should I do?
-* Standard practice is to re-try the attempt after a certain period of time. We recommend that in your code your code is set to re-try after 10-20s at least once, before aborting the attempt. A further improvement to the exception handling of this type is to create a spool into which your application will store any failed messages. A separate thread can then periodically attempt to re-send messages from this spool.

-. How to create New Lines in my SMS messages?
+. Occassionally I get exception when calling one of your functions. What should I do?

 . My messages are cut off at 70 characters. Why?
 * Characters in SMS messages can be GSM7BIT (ASCII) or UNICODE encoded. UNICODE is used to transmit text that contains non-latin characters, for example Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic. As per SMS standard, SMS message that us UNICODE can carry maximum of 70 characters where as GSM7BIT encoded messages can be up to 160 characters long. Use encoding setting Seven to send SMS using GST7BIT encoding or Sixteen to encode your text using UNICODE. If you use Sixteen, your messages can be maximum 70 characters long.
