English text : single text messages are
limited to 160 characters, including spaces.
Each concatenated text message is limited to 153
characters, rather than 160 due to the need for
user-data headers (UDH) information. Mobile phones
use UDH information to enable them to link long
messages together so they appear as single SMS messages
in recipients' phones.
