Sorry for the trouble, I am actually quite confused, hope you guys could help me:
So far this is what I understood 1) 7-bits encoding gives 160 chars per sms 2) 8-bits encoding gives 140 chars per sms 3) Unicode encoding gives 70 chars per sms Can someone tell me, how to calculate the number of multi-parts sms for the three scenario above, please? Since I cannot simple divide into 160, 140 or 70 for all three scenario respectively because of the overhead. Thanasis, you mentioned in your earlier reply that it is about 4 to 6 char, so what should I use to calculate? Kindly accept my apologies if my question sounds dumb. I really need to be precise to get the exact number of multi-part.
