mCore™ .NET SMS Library 1.2

Character Encoding For SMS

As per ETSI specification documents GSM 03.38 and 03.40, text messages can be:

Note: The maximum size of each message is also dependent on following factors:
  • If you select Concatenation (LongMessage property set to value mCore.SMS.EnumLongMessage.Concatenate) then the maximum length of each part message is restricted to 152 characters (7-bit encoding), 134 characters (8-bit encoding) and 67 characters (16-bit encoding) per part message.
  • If you select Formatted Split (LongMessage property set to value mCore.SMS.EnumLongMessage.FormattedSplit) then the maximum length of each part message is restricted to 148 characters (7-bit encoding), 128 characters (8-bit encoding) and 58 characters (16-bit encoding) per part message. This is to include the pagination information for each message. However, if the message text fits in to one single message then the pagination information is not included and the message length can be up to its full normal length.
  • For Trial version of mCore™ .NET SMS Library, the maximum permissible length of each message is reduced to accommodate the advertising signature.
