My text messages are sent using the UCS2 format. I know thsi because a Linux application I work on receives messages I send as UCS2 rather than GSM 7-bit. Nonetheless in the application I need also to test receiving message as GSM 7-bit. Is there any way on my 9810 Torch that I can change some setting so that my text messages are sent as GSM 7-bit rather than UCS2 ?

UCS2 is 16 bitcoded. Most cell phones use this type coding. there are some phones depending on software and network location that seem to be able to change but I see nothing in the 9810 documents indicating it's possible for the 9810 with most OS levels.
You can try the message icon and see if the options screen shows " general text messaging options" and then a data encoding option.
Again not all 9810's have this option. It may be an option for some countries.
