If Unicode is enabled (and if enc is not specified in request), SMS text is only in Hexadecimal form.
If Extended ASCII and Unicode are disabled and spanned SMS value is 1, a maximum of 160 characters
can be sent.
If Extended ASCII is enabled and spanned SMS value is 1, a maximum of 140 characters can be sent.
If Unicode is enabled and spanned SMS value is 1, a maximum of 70 characters can be sent.
If the spanned SMS value is more than 1, the maximum number of characters allowed for each encoding
scheme is defined as follows (where n represents the span value):
ASCII – n * 154 characters
Extended ASCII – n * 134 characters
Unicode – n * 64 characters
Characters entered beyond the allowed limit are truncated.
