About this tool

Know how many SMS your message will cost. The tool detects GSM-7 or Unicode text, shows the characters per segment (160 or 70, and 153 or 67 for longer messages) and the number of segments. Messages with Bangla or emoji use Unicode, which is shorter. It also shows limits for X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and search-result titles.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Bangla use more SMS?

Bangla needs Unicode (UCS-2), where one SMS holds only 70 characters instead of 160.

What is a segment?

One SMS part. Long messages are split into linked parts, each with a slightly smaller limit.
