SMS Details

When you send a regular text message using basic Latin letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), or common symbols like punctuation marks (!, ?, @, #, etc.), you can fit up to 160 characters in one SMS. These characters are part of the standard encoding, so they don’t reduce your character limit.

However, if you use special characters like emojis, accented letters (e.g., "é"), or characters from languages like Chinese, Arabic, or Hindi, your message switches to Unicode encoding, which limits your SMS to only 70 characters. If your message is longer, it gets split into multiple SMS messages, and you’ll be charged for each one.
