Original question
Thanks Whizz who opened super ticket but it is closed without explanation. Basically it just describe the problem again.
At the end I do my own research and found that SMS chat count is 160 normally, but if it contains Unicode such as emoji, it’s reduced to 70, hence my msg is sent as twice.

@catostrichpeaceful so it's because of the emojis?
Should be 80 chrs, since you are switching from utf-8 to utf-16 which is using 2 bytes for each character instead 1
Yes because last time I sent about 90~100 characters in a SMS. With only just one emoji, the limit becomes 70 and considered two SMS
Those emojis: are really something!
Thanks for sharing.
good to know about it's emoji

Somehow, I always knew there is something "emoji" about them...

It shouldn't be a big deal if you have unlimited texts, otherwise good to know and thanks for sharing!
