I thought that was Twitter. I have sent SMS much larger than that (since I have verbal diarreah) and they were delivered

You are charged 1 sms per 160 characters. Modern phones automatically break it up and reassemble it. I think.

Yeah, it just turns into 0/1 -> 159/2 .... max of three messages.
Now just don't go entering non standard characters like the funny e, etc.... those count as like 100 chars.

single SMS 160 Characters. All networks world wide
Most phones now allow you to send longer messages but you billed per sms after every 160 characters.
if you sending tons of mesages get a bundle or move over to whatsapp

SMS as used on modern handsets originated from radio telegraphy in radio memo pagers using standardized phone protocols and later defined as part of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) series of standards in 1985[3] as a means of sending messages of up to 160 characters
