Both send from your own SIM, so your carrier's limits apply to both, unlimited or not. Carrier limits
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
