What is the limited of chars for SmsManager?

I'm developing some app that send some SMS messages. My problem is that when I try to send a long text it won't send the message. I know there is a limit for the number of characters.

I'm using SmsManager:

SmsManager SMS = SmsManager.getDefault();
SMS.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null,message, null, null);

So, what is the limit?

Solution

  • Appears to be 160, but the API offers sending in multiple parts using sendMultiPartTextMessage().
