SMS/MMS Message Lenght

Message Content Lenght

• UCS-2 (16-bit) = 70 character maximum. For longer multipart messages, a User Data Header (UDH) is added to the message to instruct the receiving device on how to reassemble the message, resulting in a maximum of 67 characters for the body of the message.

• Latin1 (8-bit) = 140 characters maximum. For longer multipart messages, a User Data Header (UDH) is added to the message to instruct the receiving device on how to reassemble the message, resulting in a maximum of 134 characters for the body of the message.

• GSM7 (7-bit) = 160 characters maximum. For longer multipart messages, a User Data Header (UDH) is added to the message to instruct the receiving device on how to reassemble the message, resulting in a maximum of 153 characters for the body of the message.

Any message segment which has been broken up from a single message due to length will be treated as a single message, as will be messages to multiple recipients.
