Package: smsclient
Version: 2.0.8z-10~local+1
Severity: normal

Hi,

in the standard version of smsclient, as distributed by Debian, the
maximum message size for messages is hardwired to 150 bytes. The
standard afaik allows for 160 byte sized messages, so I recompiled
smsclient with the limit up'ped to 160 chars, and was able to
successfully send a message to my mobile phone. I don't know whether
this is carrier-dependent (ie, some don't obey the standard), however,
but would like to see support for 160 characters for all carriers that
correctly implement this.


Kind regards,
