We need to insert & into messages. If we include it as "&" it just truncates the message, if we send it as %26 we just get 6

There must be some way - has anyone done this?

%26 is the correct encoding for &

I have just run a test with the following URL and it worked ok:
http://www.intellisoftwa...44771012345&text=%26 

I've just sent in this:
http://www.intellisoftwa...h%20reference%20HIP61447 

the phrase Walford %26 Round is parsing to Walford%206%20Round and then displays as Walford 6 Round

I think I'm missing something! We're passing an ascii string from inside our software and calling via a batch file

the batch file reads like this:
"C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" "http://www.intellisoftware.co.uk/smsgateway/sendmsg.aspx?username&password&to=07914210356&maxconcat=3&text=Message from Walford and Round. Walford %26 Round. To contact us call 01608 661 649 or reply by txt with reference HIP61447"
exit
