On SkyDemon Plan, with the flightplan form on screen, you can press Ctrl-Q and the flightplan string will be copied to the clipboard in its entirety. Perhaps another Approach can be useful: provide an interface to a SMS-sending application or we just copy and paszte that string and add something. But the secret is: to which phone-number so I send my SMS? To the phone number the country-AIS provides for sending FPL SMS to, or by the usual pre-fixes to use your providers SMS2FAX gateway and send it to the AIS fax number ? For DFS-AIS.de, I can see only a +4969... number for speech and a fax number - mobile number or any hint that I can send my FPL via SMS. They only offer an SMS receipt. Seems to be a more complicated Problem than generating a standardized FPL-string.

Why isn't it in the manual? I would like to see this facility available on Android and iOS devices.

Seems to be a more complicated Problem than generating a standardized FPL-string. The most effective (and compliant to their internal process) way to send a FPL to German DFS by mobile phone is to submit the raw text string as text message/SMS to their fax number by using *T#9906978072505 (valid for being booked into German Telekom as provider, other may use different codes as described here: http://forums.skydemon.aero/Topic18511.aspx#bm18548 ). If i understand you right the number you mentioned uses a kind of SMS2FAX. This sounds for me, that I send the string, which is machine-readable - and some poor employee has to take a stone-aged sheet of paper and hack the string stupidly into an old-fashioned VT100-Terminal - right ? Unbelievable! After reading something about EuroFPL and IFPS I thought this is centralized, europe-wide, standardized, so there is ONE central upload point where all the FPL go to, maybe with an Emailadress, a SMS or a fax-number and a real person (for rare emergencies).

Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth.
