An SMS message is limited to 160 characters in the U.S. and Canada. MMS messages are limited to 1,600 characters each.

Our extended messaging feature lets you easily send messages that are up to 306 characters. This means you can include more details to make your marketing campaigns more informational and effective.

A character includes letters, numbers, spaces, symbols, and punctuation.
