Messages

Message endpoints are meant to send and monitor messages sent by the account. Message is a single one to one conversation entity.

A single SMS can contain 160 characters. If the message contains any characters not listed in the 7-bit alphabet, then the message encoding will be set to UCS-2. The message length is limited to 70 characters. Additionally, for long SMS messages exceeding above-mentioned limits, will be supported by splitting them into multiple segments. For WhatsApp and Viber messages the maximum limit of characters is 1024 and 1000 for any character set correspondingly.
