My SMS is being split into two parts. How can I prevent this to avoid double charges?

To reduce your SMS character count and avoid message splitting, follow these tips:

1. Use Shorter Words:
   Keep your message concise by using shorter words. For example, instead of writing "February," use "Feb" or simply "2."

2. Shorten Links:
   If your message includes a URL, shorten it directly from our platform. Copy your URL and click the Shorten URL button in the pop-up window to save characters.

3. Avoid Symbols That Count as Two Characters:
   Some special characters take up two character spaces instead of one. Avoid using:

   • ^ ~ [ ] { } \ | €

4. Use Keywords and Abbreviations:
   Replace longer words with keywords or commonly understood abbreviations. For example, use "promo" instead of "promotion." Just ensure they are clear to your audience.

5. Get to the Point Quickly:
   Capture your subscriber attention in the first few words and make the message relevant and engaging upfront while keeping character usage to minimum.
