Short Message Service is just that SHORT ! The length depends on the
implementation and carrier. As this wiki post describes anywhere from 133 to
153 chars

Subject: [android-discuss] Re: Maximum character that we can send to SMS
application.
@Streets Of Boston
Thanks for the information. But This I know. I think you misunderstood
my question.
Actually I am invoking SMS application from my app. I am sending some
text [which is around 300 characters] in "sms_body". These characters
are being cut when SMS application is being invoked. I could find only
200 characters in the SMS app.
I want to know where is the limitation? Is this a framework
limitation?
I already pasted my code above.
Note: I am sending through Intent.ACTION_SEND
Anyways thanks for being generous and reply
AJ

OneSMScanonly have 160 chars.
TheSMS(/Message) app allows the user to type in more than 160character,
but willsendit in multipleSMSmessages. It chops the
entire message up in as many parts that are necessary so that each
part doesn't contain more than 160 chars.
Some apps on the receiving sidecandetect that multipleSMS-es are
part of one larger message andcanre-assemble them back into one
largeSMSmessage. However, over the air, eachSMS(part)canhave no
more than 160 chars.
