Once again thank you for your trust and loyalty !
We are pleased to inform you that the concatenation for the long SMS sending (messages longer than 160 characters) is now available for the Economic sending mode !
Indeed so far (since October 2008), only the Expert and Response modes could send long messages with concatenation.
As a reminder, the concatenation requires the integration (automatic and invisible) of a header called UDH on each part of the message to send, the maximum length of the SMS decreases from 160 to 153 available characters (7 characters are reserved for the concatenation of the message on the recipient’s mobile).
