Creating and sending a text message
Many SMS service providers charge per text message or part of a text message.
Each message or part is 160 characters. If you create a text message under 161 characters, you are
charged for one message. If you create a message that is 161 to 320 characters, you may be
charged for two messages, and so forth. A counter appears at the top of the page to indicate the
number of characters. Even though a message has more than 160 characters, the message
appears as one message to the person receiving the message.
