And iMessage can have an unlimited number of characters. When you sent a message to someone who does not have I messaging, then their limit is 160 characters. If the text message exceeds 160 characters, It is divided into two or more text messages. Obviously the number of text messages received it depends on the number of characters in the original text message. For example, if the text messages 220 characters, the recipient will get one text message with 160 characters, then a second text message with the remaining 60 characters in it.
