Would you like to send a flash SMS and wondering how many characters you need to type to make a page of message? Knowing this is very important for many reasons. For one thing, it helps you to monitor the SMS you are sending and be sure it sticks with your intended number of pages and is within budget.
A page of flash SMS is the same as a plain text message which is 160 characters. However, once you exceed a page of message, the character length per page changes. When there are 2 or more pages, each page would take a maximum of 153 characters. That means, for example, 2 pages of SMS would be 306 characters, 3 pages of SMS would be 459 characters, 4 pages would be 612, and so on.
Being equipped with this information would help you the next time you are sending a flash SMS, so you can properly monitor the length of your message and stick to your budget.
