SMS Message Count

SMS messages with character counts greater than 160 characters will now send to client as one whole message instead of split messages. Note: Each 160 characters will still be billed as a separate message, even though messages are being sent as a single text. For example, 170 characters is billed as two text messages, but the client will receive one whole message.
