Number of characters per SMS


A regular SMS can contain up to 160 characters.


NOTE! If the message contains one or more special characters* the number of chars will be reduced to 70 due to extra
encoding needed for the special characters.


Number of characters per linked SMS


If an SMS consists of a couple of concatenated text messages (Linked SMS), each single message will be charged
after every 153rd character. This is due to so called User Data Header (UDH) which has to be included at the top of
every message in order for the recipient’s cell phone to be able to put all the concatenated messages together into one
long SMS.


NOTE! If the linked SMS contains one or more special characters* it will be charged after every 67th character due to
extra encoding needed for the special characters.


*Characters that are not included in the GSM character set (03.38). Like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Cyrillic
