To send messages longer that 160 character the IntelliSoftware gateway can send multipart messages. Each message part can contain 153 characters. Most handset will assemble the individual message part back into one message for display. You will be charged one message credit for each multipart message part.

The max message part can be set on the Send SMS page. Multipart message are controlled by the gateway's MaxConCat setting. A MaxConCat setting of 1 will only send 1 message part (max length 160 characters), MaxConCat setting of 2 will send upto 2 messages parts (max length 306 characters).

You can configure the default MaxConCat setting for the web interfaces in the Preference section of your account.

To change the maximum size, login into your account and click on the 'Preferences' link. In the 'Message Concatenation' section, change the 'Default Max. Msg. Parts' from 1 to a number from 2-10.

Here are some example settings:

1 - 160 characters max - 1 credit per recipient
2 - 306 characters max - 2 credits per recipient
3 - 459 characters max - 3 credits per recipient
4 - 612 characters max - 4 credits per recipient

When multipart messages are used, each message part can contain only 153 characters. Additional credits will be used to send each message part.
