Text messages are designed to be concise and to the point. This brevity is achieved through character limits, ensuring messages remain short and easily digestible.

In the U.S. and Canada, a standard SMS message can contain up to 160 characters. This count includes letters, numbers, spaces, symbols, and punctuation marks. On the other hand, MMS messages have a more generous limit, allowing up to 1,600 characters per message.

For those looking to convey more information, Udext offers an extended messaging feature. With this, users can send messages containing more than 160 characters, providing ample space to make your communications more impactful.
