(*) In this country, the price of a text message segment depends on the recipient's carrier.
Note
Due to the way text messages work, a message longer than 153 characters, or 67 characters if special characters are used, will be broken into multiple text message segments. A message of 240 characters will, therefore, be sent and billed as 2 messages if no special characters are used, or 4 messages if the message contains special characters. The way messages are broken up into individual messages depend on the country and carrier.
Billing notes
Each sent message is billed. That means if a text is broken into 3 sent messages you are billed for 3 texts. SMS billing occurs at the end of the billing cycle for the total cost. The rates can be found above.
Also note, that administrator text message notifications about new purchases are not counted towards your usage of text messages.
