Our messaging platform now facilitates long messaging in a total of 4 different ways and have already been made available to both Email-to-SMS and Web-to-SMS messages.

The first, and more important, of the new methods is 'concatenation'. This instructs receiving handsets to re-assemble long messages programmatically and has been released to coincide with the implementation of Unicode as a key to overcoming the length restriction from which it suffers.

The second is the 'three dots' method whihc adds an ellipsis to the end of each (except the last) SMS to signify that the message is 'to be continued'.

Furthermore, each of the four methods can now be implemented on a 'strict' or 'graceful' basis, with the latter ensuring that individual words are not split between SMS.

The settings for customers who previously used 'SMS Numbering' have been maintained and the Knowledge Base has been expanded to include a dedicated section belonging to Long Messaging.

Any questions relating to its implementation should be forwarded to our technical staff.
