Text message length

How many caracters is one allowed to send in one text? Does the system have the capability to send a second text to the same recepient if the mwessage is too long as can be done with a regular cell phone?

For English, or other language that requires a single byte for the alphabet, the limit is 160 characters. For double byte alphabet, it is shorter.

This is the original limitation for GSM SMS/text message services. Some services may allow longer text, or even include multimedia messages, but that’s a different service (MMS). To make sure your message can be displayed for all the phones, we recommend you limit your text message to 160 characters.

Voicent software will not try to break up a long message.
