What is a Standard SMS?

Modified on Tue, 10 Sep at 12:57 PM

Standard SMS message is a message up to 160 characters long and containing only characters from the GSM alphabet. Therefore, this type of SMS message cannot contain symbols, special characters or accents that are not included in the GSM alphabet.


In the section Services and credits by country you can consult the cost in credits of a Standard SMS according to the destination country. It is also possible to consult the unit price of an SMS in the Prices section of our website. All WebSMS sending forms indicate the type of SMS to be sent and the credits that each sending will consume.


It is possible to send concatenated Standard SMS that the recipient will receive as a single message. But that will have a unit cost for each segment or part.


More information about the cost can be found in What is the price of an SMS message?
