How did õ affect SMS? Count as multiple characters?
- Aerroon 5y agoNormally an SMS was up to 160 characters long. If you wrote a longer text than that then it would be a separate SMS and the telco would charge you extra. Because Õ is only really used in Estonian it's not part of the set of characters for a standard SMS. This meant that the presence of Õ in an SMS would make the max length of an SMS 70 characters (less than half).
