Extend the capacity of your SMS by delivering a single message to the recipient.
What is a Concatenated SMS?
A concatenated SMS is an SMS message that has a length or capacity greater than 160 characters. It is transmitted in segments or parts and will be displayed as a single message to the end recipient.
A conventional or standard SMS message has a maximum capacity of 160 characters. However, thanks to concatenated SMS, this capacity can be expanded, allowing more extensive and detailed communications.
