Twilio concatenated message support | Long messages are no longer supported and will be delivered and displayed on the handset as multiple separate segments. |
Message length | One SMS segment can contain up to 140 bytes. This is equivalent to either 140 characters using the GSM 8-bit unpacked (commonly known as ASCII) encoding or 70 characters using the UCS2 16-bit encoding. |
Twilio MMS support | Converted to SMS with embedded URL |
Sending SMS to landline numbers | You cannot send SMS to a landline destination number: the Twilio REST API will throw a 400 response with error code 21614, the message will not appear in the logs, and the account will not be charged. |
Compliance considerations | SMS messages toward South Korea would be automatically appended with[Web 발신] which means the message is A2P or [국제발신] which means the message is sent from abroad. Only numeric senderId is supported and it would be automatically prefixed with 009 or 006. OnlyEUC-KR characters are supported by the South Korean mobile operators so carefully review your content and only use characters that are on the list.Sending of adult and gambling related content is strictly prohibited. Message delivery to M2M numbers is on best-effort basis only. Twilio strongly encourages customers to review proposed use cases with qualified legal counsel to make sure that they comply with all applicable laws. The following are some general best practices:
