Hello
I am use GSMComm to read and write phonebook in gsm modem
and this the link to this control

Are you sure that you're actually supposed to convert your text to to those numbers? That looks more like how the data would be stored after you gave it the original text. When you write text to a file on a PC, the encoding affects what bytes get stored in the file but the actual characters that you send for writing don't change.

Presumably that's four double-byte characters so you should probably give it the original text and then it will convert that to the eight bytes 00 54 00 65 00 73 00 74 for storage and/or transmission. Have you tried just using the the original text, i.e. "Test"?

Also notice this is a VB.Net forum. In most cases you need to attend a C# forum for help with your C# projects.
