Help centre / SMS Marketing

Why can a long SMS use more than one unit?

SMS messages have a character capacity per segment. Longer messages are split into multiple segments, and Unicode characters such as some symbols or emoji can reduce the number of characters that fit in each segment.

Use the composer counter or the SMS calculator while writing. Shorten repeated information and use a clear destination link when you need customers to read more.
