Hi All,

Is there a way to send a longform SMS without splitting them? In the same way that a 320 character SMS sent from a smartphone to another appears as a single message?

The SMS specifications as accepted by the GSMA only allow for SMS packets of up to 120 characters in length. The "longform" messages are not true SMS, but are either MMS, SMTP, or data handled by an app such as an instant messaging client or device OS specific as in the case of Apple's iMessage. These are not true SMS messages as they do not ride on the "control" channel but rely on the device and network Data system. NOTE: The carriers do not see SMS messages as "data"
