Long Message Part Breakdown

Postby Leanne » Thu Mar 04, 2010 12:46 pm

A standard single SMS or voice message is 160 characters, but we can support up to 612 characters in total which is counted as four message credits.

The breakdown for each message part isn’t in 160 characters chunks as extra encoding is needed to tell the phone the order the message needs to be put back together in when it receives it.

The breakdown for each part is:
Part Characters
1 0-160
2 161-306
3 307-459
4 460-612
