Hi Chris,
Character Count only shows for actual text messages, it does not show for iMessages where the 160 character count does not apply. I think, by the way, that for most carriers it's 160 carriers, not 140 which I think is the Twitter limit for a message. Anyhow, if you turned it on, you should hear Voiceover announce the character count if you swipe past the Sent button. It used to be before the Sent button in iOS 6, but now it's after. OK, interestingly enough I just started a text message to somebody and it did not show, but I know for sure that just a few days ago I saw it when I swiped past the Sent button.

I set Character count in messages to on. I assumed it would tell me the number of the characters I typed in the message before I send it. Most carriers set a limit of 140 characters in each message, if one goes beyond this number the message would be partitioned into two. This way the person may pay more in carriers fees than intended. However, I could not find out where and how I would know the number of the Characters I type. Does anyone know how to make this work?
