When using long messages, there are 7 characters per SMS that are used to connect the SMS technically to each other.
• 1 SMS : 160 characters
• Long message of 2 SMS : 306 characters (2 x 153 characters)
• Long message of 3 SMS : 459 characters (3 x 153 characters)
• Long message of 4 SMS : 612 characters (4 x 153 characters)
• Long message of 5 SMS : 765 characters (5 x 153 characters)
• ...
• Long message of 10 SMS : 1530 characters (10 x 153 characters)
Once you exceed the 160 character limit, messages are split in 153 character parts, up to 10. This means you can have a message of up to 1530 characters. That kind of message will cost you the price of 2, 3, 4 ... 10 SMS, depending on the length of your message.
Please be aware that some characters (see "Set Extension" here below on the right) will count for 2 characters.
