International SMS

SMS FeeBreakdown.

Per-segment outbound SMS rates by country and carrier. Rates vary based on destination network and are billed against your wallet balance per segment sent.

Understanding SMS Segments

Pricing is per segment, not per message. A segment is 1,120 bits of data. One message may consume multiple segments depending on length and character encoding.

Standard (GSM-7)

Up to 160 characters per segment. Most Latin-alphabet messages use this encoding.

Unicode (UCS-2)

Only ~70 characters per segment. Triggered by emojis or special characters.

Watch Your Characters

Special characters can silently switch encoding and multiply segment count per message.
