SMS on TNS410

[gauca001]

Why is it that whenever I receive an SMS on my Nokia C7 connected via bluetooth with TNS 410, I see a lot of garbage on the display and a voice reading all the rubbish displayed?

Maybe just because that Nokia is not in the "compatible phones" list?

Even for the Nokias that ARE listed, not many of them have ticks in the "Receive SMS" column.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to shut off JUST the SMS portion of the Bluetooth connection. Whatever Nokia is doing to the text, it's not simple ASCII.

I is probably a difference between standard ASCII (8 bit) and 2 byte Unicode. That would certainly create a mess. If your Nokia is sending 16-bit UCS2 mode, and the TomTom is expecting 8 bit ASCII ...
