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.

How much does a Concatenated SMS cost?
The activation of the concatenated SMS service is free of charge. Only Concatenated SMS messages sent are charged. Credits corresponding to the length of the SMS text will be deducted.

Recommendation
