Background
In the course of adding an SMS module to our Commercial software, we have found need for the SMS length properties which we've included in this package.
Our third-party SMS gateway provider's API will of course error if the message length exceeds the maximum allowed, and handles the correct concatenation and encoding for the given UTF-8 string.
However we want to be able to inform our users of message size and limits while they're building their SMS campaign (in advance of a live send). Plus we also need to show how many concatenated SMS they will use per contact, and therefore indicate pricing.
The unit tests and inspections made by this package are based on GSM 03.38 / 3GPP 23.038 for encoding and GSM 03.40 / 3GPP 23.040 for concatenated SMS. We have also referred to documentation provided by third-party SMS gateway providers such as MessageBird and Messente.
