Pricing and Delivery Policy – You will have access to the sms credits immediately upon a successful purchase. How SMS credits are calculated: 1 credit = 1 single 160 character length text message to a UK mobile number. Texts sent to a non UK mobile number will be charged at 2.5 credits. For clarity: A single message is up to 160 characters. 1 credit if sending to a UK number or 2.5 Credits if not. If the message is longer than 160 characters you actually only get 153 characters per message part. This is so the handsets know how to join the message when it receives it. Some examples: A 2 part message would be to 2 x 153 characters = 306 characters. This will take 2 credits off your account if sending to a UK number or 5 Credits if not. A 3 part message would be 3 x 153 characters = 459. This will take 3 credits off your account if sending to a UK number or 7.5 Credits if not and so on. The maximum number of characters per single message also depends on the encoding you use. Our systems look at the characters you use and converts the character encoding if needed. For example special characters like the Euro symbol € takes up 2 character spaces. Other languages will be converted to Unicode and other restrictions apply. 160 characters for 7-bit encoding (e.g. latin-1/9 and GSM8). This most standard UK messages. 70 characters for 16-bit encoding (Unicode). This would apply if sending in a different language for example Welsh. The maximum number of characters per concatenated message is slightly reduced due to the inclusion of concatenation headers: 153 characters for 7-bit encoding (e.g. latin-1/9 and GSM8). 67 characters for 16-bit encoding (Unicode).
