title: SMPP Submit Long Message and message split
body: <p>We are using SMPP cloud-hopper library to SMS long long messages to <a href="http://www.innovativetxt.com" rel="nofollow">SMS gateway</a> Innovativetxt.com, but it seems like when we split following the long message TO 140 bytes each part.  The number of characters in each message gets to 134 character.</p>
  
  <p>However industry standard is kind of 153 character shall be for each part of GSM Encoded long message.   Is it something wrong we are doing by having only 134 character when we split via 140 byte?   If we trying to submit greater than 140 bytes message, the gateway provider rejects it with message oversized message body.</p>
  
  <p>Shall be split the message to 153 character each to sbumit to SMSC, instead spiting the messages via 140 bytes each.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to split long message?  By message size i.e 140 bytes or message characters count?</p>
  
  <p>Anyone faced same issues via cloudhopper or other Java-based Library what we shall do.</p>
