The problem was, that the Joomla request object JRequest returned all data utf8 encoded. This means that the rawurlencode method returns a diffrent string.

Example:

$body = JRequest::getVar('sms_body', );

echo 'utf8: ' . mb_strlen( $body ) . ' ' . rawurlencode( $body ) . '<br/>';

$body = utf8_decode( $body );

echo 'lanti1: ' . mb_strlen( $body ) . ' ' . rawurlencode( $body ) . '<br/>';
