Hi everyone!
I'm using a French version of the Treo 270.
I got the problem that the letters ç and ê cannot be sent by sms.
Does someone have a/the solution?
Thanks

Salut Lawrence !
J'écris en anglais pour toutes les personnes...
The problem is with the Treo SMS application. It only recognises 8bit characters. Some characters, like accent circonflexe (^), use an extra bit. Handspring know about this problem but will only fix when they release a new Treo :(
I have not tried it but maybe MaxTEXT (http://www.maxtext.net/) may help - it is a third party SMS application. Be sure to download the Treo version.
Bonne chance !
