How to identify and concatenate fragmented long SMS messages into a complete SMS in PDU mode?

I am working with GSM modem via AT Command interface to read all the messages stored on SM memory, PDU mode.

AT+CMGF=1
AT+CMGL=4

The return is

+CMGL: 1,"REC READ","53030303","","2017/07/10 13:04:37+24"
050003FF0301A66FB93C0FCABFEB72103AEC26CFCB7410F95D9E83DC6FBA625E87C3DF723A285

+CMGL: 3,"REC READ","53030303","","2017/07/10 13:04:37+24"
050003FF0303CA6C38

Here 1,2,3 number messages are multipart. And I want to combine the three parts of this message into one complete message. Especially supports both unicode characters.

The Wikipedia article is helpful for this. In a nutshell, bytes 5 and 6 of each message denote the placement:

  • 050003FF0301... 3 parts, part 1
  • 050003FF0302... 3 parts, part 2
  • 050003FF0303... 3 parts, part 3

There are other things to consider with the header, and any PDU spec will go into detail on them, but this message header answers your question of how to identify and concat them in the right order
