Long Messages
As mentioned, the maximum number of characters for a standard SMS is 160 characters in case of
ASCII messages or 70 in case of non-ASCII characters. But you can send even longer text
messages – they will be broken into several consecutive SMS, and sent one after another to the
destination number.
The last box at the bottom of the “Transmit SMS” window shows you the “number of SMS” – this is 1
for a normal message, less than 160 characters long, or 4 in the example below:
This means that the long message, with 270 non-ASCII characters, will be sent out as a succession of
four SMS messages with a maximum length of 70 characters each!
