We have, as of yesterday, begun the successful implementation of Unicode messaging which enables transmission of text and symbols from all of the world's writing systems via SMS. This means that we can now support all of the world's living languages including, for example, Arabic, Chinese & Greek. Customers should be aware, however, that a maximum length of 70 characters applies to Unicode messages, as opposed to 160 characters for plain text messages. The implementation of Unicode messaging has begun with the Web-to-SMS facility and will next be included in SMS API v2.1 which is due for release this month. Customers wanting to learn more about Unicode should begin with Wikipedia followed by the Unicode Consortium website. |
