[Bug 1484664] Re: Visual feadback when the message one is writing is going to be split into multiple ones

 

you will never get 160 chars through; the max length is 140 byte and the
rumor of 160 has to do with the idea that you can pack 160 7-bit ASCII
chars into 140 bytes; but nowadays nobody sends ASCII, all are sending
some fency stuff; a good background article about Unicode in SMS is
here:  https://www.twilio.com/engineering/2012/11/08/adventures-in-
unicode-sms

Title:
  Visual feadback when the message one is writing is going to be split
  into multiple ones

Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It would be nice to have some sort of visual indication when the
  message we are currently writing is going to be broken down into
  multiple SMS because it is too long. That would help those of us who
  are on prepaid plans save some money.
