Long messages and accents
DroidSender counts messages, not parts. At services that charge per segment, an emoji or an accented letter like á, ó, ç or â limits each SMS to 70 characters, so a 100-character text counts as 2 SMS instead of 1. How SMS length works

Does a long message cost more on Smessa?
Yes. Smessa credits are per SMS segment, so a long message, or one with accents, uses more than one credit. DroidSender counts 1 per message.
Does DroidSender have separate logins for each person?
No. Everyone signs in with the same Google account and sees the same inbox. If you need a login per person, Smessa has team members.
