Issues with gnokii --sendsms 8 bit

[Anand Deshpande]

Hi,
I have installed gnokii 0.6.29 on Ubuntu linux

address@hidden:~/sw/gnokii-0.6.29-linux#uname -a
Linux my-laptop 2.6.32.22-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP May 27 00:22:23 UTM 2010 i686 
GNU/Linux
 
The gnokii --sendsms utility works fine for sending SMS messages, for instance 
when I do
echo "Hello World" | gnokii --sendsms 14081234567 -r
I receive the message correctly on 14081234567

However, when I try to use the 8 bit send option, I don't receive any message 
(PDU or otherwise) on the receiver phone

I am trying to use the -8 or --8bit option on the gnokii utility. I use the 
command
echo 1234567890 | gnokii --sendsms 14081234567 -8 -r

Though the command executes correctly on the sending client, I never receive 
the message on my receiving phone. Any idea what I might be doing wrong or what 
is wrong in this case?

This is my sending client output

address@hidden:~/sw/gnokii-0.6.29-linux# echo 1122334455 | gnokii --sendsms 
"+14082427953" -8 -r
