In a further clarification I should point out 160 characters is set in stone and always will be.
However current technology allows the maximum length of text message you can send is 918 characters. So if you send more than 160 characters your message will be broken down in to chunks of 153 characters, or part there of, before being sent to the recipient’s handset, 6 x 153 = 918
The vast majority of handsets nowadays will join multiple message parts together and present a single, extra-length message for the recipient to view. But the networks will charge you for every chunk of 153 characters that you send! A message of 420 characters for example will be sent and charged as 3 text messages. |
