Overview
Belgium is an extremely complex SMS market and there are many filters in play.

Alphanumeric sender IDs are not supported by Belgacom, so will be changed to a random numeric value.
Contents
The Belgian networks heavily filter and restrict international routes and even direct connections.
Belgacom only supports HP Roman 8 character set, so some special characters, such as €, are not displayed correctly.
Belgacom does not research Unicode.
