How SMS Segmentation Works – What Happens When Your Message Is Too Long?
When you send a text message, you probably don't think about the technical details behind the scenes. But did you know there’s a character limit for SMS, and that longer messages are automatically split into multiple parts? In this guide, we explain how this works, what affects the limits, and why you might sometimes be able to send fewer characters than expected.
Basic Character Limits
A Standard SMS Can Contain:
- Up to 160 characters if using 7-bit encoding (commonly used for standard Latin letters, numbers, and basic symbols).
- Up to 70 characters if using Unicode encoding (required for things like emojis or languages that use special characters, such as Arabic or Chinese).
But what happens when your message exceeds these limits?
Multipart SMS (Concatenated SMS)
When an SMS exceeds the character limit, it is split into multiple parts. These parts are sent separately but are automatically reassembled on the recipient’s phone, so it appears as one continuous message.
For this to work, each part must include what's called a data header.This tells the recipient’s phone that the message is split—and how the parts should be reassembled. However, this extra information takes up a bit of space, which affects how many characters each part can actually contain.
How Many Characters Fit in Each Part?
When an SMS is split, the number of characters that fit in each part decreases
- 7-bit encoding:
➤ Instead of 160 characters per SMS part, you get 153 characters per part. 153 tecken per del. - Unicode encoding:
➤ Instead of 70 characters per SMS part, you get 67 characters per part. 67 tecken per del.
This is because 7 characters (or 3 in the case of Unicode) are reserved for the data header.
Why Is It Important to Know This?
If you send many or long SMS messages—such as in marketing campaigns or customer communications—it’s helpful to understand how splitting affects:
- Cost: More SMS parts mean higher costs per message sent.
- Experience: Although recipients see the message as a whole, some older devices might display the parts separately.
- Planning: You can optimize your message to keep it within one or two parts.
Want to keep track of how long your message is and how many parts it will be split into? Our web services include an automatic counter that shows exactly how many characters and SMS parts your message will consist of.
Summary:
Encoding | Max Characters (Single SMS) | Max Characters (Concatenated SMS) |
---|---|---|
7-bitars | 160 | 153 per part |
Unicode | 70 | 67 per part |
By understanding how splitting works, you can plan your SMS campaigns more smartly—both from a cost and content perspective.
Character Limits per SMS Part Depending on Encoding

---|---|---|
1 | 160 | 160 |
2 | 153 | 306 |
3 | 153 | 459 |
4 | 153 | 612 |
5 | 153 | 765 |

I have an SMS balance but still get an invoice every month
In our system there are two payment models, SMS balance and post-invoicing (Monthly subscription). If you have an SMS balance on your account and choose to subscribe to a monthly subscription, the system will disregard your balance and post-invoice the previous month's traffic.
If you have a balance on your account but still receive an invoice, the probability is high that you have one of our post-invoicing subscriptions activated (for example One Survey, Send or Send & Receive) If you instead want to use your balance again, you can say up your SMS subscription, your SMS messages will instead be deducted from your SMS balance that remains in the account.
Post-invoicing and Balance
- Post-invoicing: When you have post-invoicing activated, all your fees for a month are collected on an invoice that is sent out at the end of the month.
- Balance: If you choose to top up your balance, you can use these funds to pay your fees on an ongoing basis.
Priority for payment:
In our system have post-invoicing priority over balance. This means that all your charges are added to your invoice, regardless of whether you have a balance on the account. The balance only begins to be used up when post-invoicing is turned off.

How do I collect contacts via recipient number?
Ett enkelt sätt att samla in kontakter är att använda vår Spara-funktion för inkommande SMS. Detta innebär att en person som vill ta emot SMS från ditt konto kan skicka ett SMS till ett virtuellt mobilnummer som finns kopplat till ditt konto och på så vis bli registrerad som kontakt under en viss etikett.
Hur gör jag?
- Se till att du har ett mottagarnummer kopplat till ditt konto. Detta kan du köpa direkt i webshopen, eller genom att kontakta vår supportavdelning.
- Send an SMS with the text Spara Förnamn Efternamn Etikettnamn till ditt mottagarnummer.
- Avsändarens nummer har nu sparats i din kontaktbok med angiven information. Finns inte etiketten sedan tidigare, så skapar kontaktsystemet en ny automatiskt.

How long do we try to send SMS to customers when the phone is switched off?
Om en telefon är avstängd eller saknar täckning håller operatören meddelandet i en kö och försöker leverera det när mobilen blir tillgänglig igen.
Hur länge operatören försöker leverera SMS:et styrs av deras giltighetstid (validity period) och ligger vanligtvis runt 48–72 timmar. Den exakta tiden kontrolleras inte av oss.
I vissa fall kan mottagarens telefon eller SMS-app ha en egen inställning för hur gamla meddelanden som accepteras, vilket kan göra att äldre SMS inte levereras. I praktiken är det dock operatörens giltighetstid som avgör hur länge meddelandet försöker levereras.
Why didn't my SMS arrive?
Om ditt SMS inte nått fram kan du alltid titta på statuskoden för meddelandet. Där ser du en förklaring till vad som har hänt.
De vanligaste orsakerna är:
- Mobilnumret är felaktigt eller saknar landskod.
- Mottagarens telefon är avstängd eller utan täckning.
- Operatören har stoppat meddelandet på grund av avsändar-ID eller innehåll.
Operatören fortsätter att försöka leverera SMS under en viss tid, vanligtvis upp till 72 timmar. Först när meddelandet kommit fram – eller när den tiden har gått ut – får vi en slutgiltig leveransstatus. Läs mer om ett SMS giltighetsstid
Det betyder att även om status dröjer betyder det inte att något är fel, utan att operatören fortfarande försöker leverera ditt SMS.
Why did it take so long before I got the delivery status on my SMS?
När du skickar ett SMS får du inte alltid leveransstatus direkt. Det beror på hur mobiloperatörerna hanterar leveranserna.
Så här fungerar det:
- När ditt SMS skickas tar operatören emot det och försöker leverera till mottagarens mobil.
- Om mobilen är avstängd eller saknar täckning sparas meddelandet och operatören försöker igen senare.
- Operatören fortsätter försöka under en viss tid, oftast upp till 72 timmar.
- Först när meddelandet levererats, eller när tiden har gått ut, skickas en slutgiltig leveransrapport tillbaka.
Vårt system hämtar löpande uppdateringar om skickade SMS tills operatören skickar tillbaka en slutgiltig leveransstatus. Det gör att det ibland kan dröja innan du får besked, särskilt om mottagarens mobil är avstängd eller saknar täckning.
When you send SMS they get different statuses, what do these mean?
SMS handled by the system receive different statuses so that you as a customer can easily check that your SMS is delivered or if something has gone wrong, for example that the number does not exist or if the recipient uses a subscription that does not support SMS.

- Klicka på ”Hantera etiketter” ovanför etikett-listan.
- Välj de etiketter du vill hantera
- Klicka på ”Flyttta kontakter”
- Döp din nya etikett i fältet ”Etikettnamn”. Om du vill skapa flera nya, separera etikettnamnen med ett komma-tecken (,).

- Klicka på ”Flytta kontakter”.

Send SMS with company name as sender
Sending SMS with company name as the sender is an extremely powerful and appreciated function that gives a professional feel to your SMS. We call the function optional sender where you can enter a text between 3 – 11 characters, Aa – Zz and the numbers 0 – 9. Our platform allows you to register an unlimited number of senders that you can easily switch between directly in the from field in all web services.

When you use a text sender, the recipient cannot reply to the SMS because the recipient's phone simply interprets the sender as a text and not a mobile number.
If you want to receive replies, you can instead use a so-called virtual number, a number that only works for SMS. The number is linked to your account and allows you to receive replies to your SMS directly in the web service.
