The SMS protocol allows for "fragmented SMS delivery", where one long message is splitted into several SMS packets sent to the wire (each one charged separately, of course :-))
This involves setting a "fragment bit" in the packet, as well as filling an optional header with fragment index+count and other information. The Android GSM stack should be able to re-assemble these properly. When you talk about the other hand, what device is this ?
