If you send an email message with more than 160 characters of text, then only the first 160 characters will be sent to the mobile phone as the SMS message. So be sure to check the length of your message as anything after the 160 limit will be cut-off.

Yes, if your browser and operating system supports Chinese. However, only up to 60 Chinese characters are supported. If more than 60 Chinese characters are sent, the SMS will not be delivered to the mobile recipient.

The cost per SMS depends on how you pay. Purchasing 'coolcredits' upfront ensures you will always get the best price available:

Each Normal (English) SMS can consist of 160 Characters. Each Unicode (Chinese, Thai, etc) SMS can consist of 70 characters. Our system allows you to send up to 3 SMS message lengths so that means a Normal SMS can hold up to (160 X 3)=480 characters and each Unicode SMS can hold up to (70 x 3)=210 characters maximum.

A SMS can be comprised of 160 characters, and is priced with 1 SMS. In case you are using the web portal to send messages, or if your telephone device supports long messages, a SMS can be longer than 160 characters. However if the message exceeds 160 characters there will be additional charges per 160 character. For example, if you send a SMS with 321 characters, this will be charged with 3 SMS; if you send a SMS with 159 characters, this will be charged with 1 SMS price.

Normal SMS (e.g. English) will be able to hold up to 480 characters. A Unicode (e.g. Chinese) SMS will be able to hold up to 210 characters. Both these maximum will be 3 SMS in length.

Sending control characters is easy: just write a send command and enter the control character you want to send. I like to enter most control characters literally - since the resulting script is more readable. However, your editor has to allow this. For example, suppose you want to send a Control-A. Conventionally, most editors display this as ^A, but you can't just enter ^ and A. (This will just send those two characters.

From: jcarney@mtl.mit.edu (John C. Carney) Newsgroups: comp.lang.tcl Date: 12 Aug 1996 17:32:54 GMT Organization: Massachvsetts Institvte of Technology I am trying to use expect to spawn the kermit program. It then is supposed to dial the modem and procede. When I run kermit from the shell, it has no problem dialing the modem. However, when kermit is spawned by expect, it will not dial. I thought perhaps the input stream was too fast for kermit and tried send -s.

The full size of an SMS message is 160 characters. However most SMS messages are less than 80 characters. NightLifeTexting.com offers you up to 130 characters for each message you send. The rest of the message is for the "from" field so that the person who you are sending message know who you the sender is.

The SMS function on your SIM Card should be activated automatically. However, if it is not, just set your Message Centre Number i.e. 016-299 9902 to activate it.

Any SMS messages longer than 160 characters are split into multiple SMS messages. Stay tuned, we're considering including a character counter in future releases.
