I think iMessage is unlimited whereas Sms text messages are 160
characters and so may be sent in multiple parts.

Marcy,
i will not argue what you said, but I have a habit of writing fairly
long texts. In previous versions of IOS, I would write a text and would
hear a whoosh and another woosh if it was too long. Now it always says
iMessage and when I send I only hear one whoosh. Now, I do not know if
my textee gets 2 texts, never asked, but all I hear now is one winging
its way to whomever! Just an observation, and I may not know 2 are being
generated on one whoosh.

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.

I understand that an iMessage can have an unlimited number of
characters, but only can be used between Apple devices. A text
message allegedly only can have 160 characters. If I have iMessage
turned on,how does my phone know whether the recipient is using an
Apple device, or not, to which it is sending my iMessage? And if I
send an iMessage to a non Apple device, I guess it is delivered as a
regular text message. Does it just cut off after 160 characters? I do
intend to buy the new book, published by National Braille Press,
about iMessaging.
Thanks for any information.
