                smsManager.sendTextMessage(phno, null, msg, null, null);
            }catch (Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();

try this :

ArrayList<String> arrSMS = smsManager.divideMessage("Text to send");
smsManager.sendMultipartTextMessage("Number", null, arrSMS, null, null);

converting string to `Basic Latin` helped me. e.g `String msg = "\u0b9f\u0bc6\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b99\u0bcd";` – Praveen Kumar Jul 21 '15 at 06:56

You have to use sendMultipartTextMessage().

Look at this question: Android: Unicode/Charset problems when sending an SMS (sendTextMessage)
