In smartphones, SMS are displayed in the form of a chat with one subscriber, and in older phones, each SMS is opened separately;
Messages are stored on the mobile operator's server for 24 hours. If the recipient does not turn on the phone during this time, they are deleted and the money for them is returned to the sender;
Messages can be stored on the phone for an unlimited amount of time, but some devices have limitations in the phone's memory. If it is completely filled, the client will not be able to receive new SMS;
Incoming SMS is free.

Note! In the text input field itself, there are usually no restrictions on the number of characters. If such an option is available, then the limit applies to a high value (about 1000 characters).

But just in case, next to the block for writing text there is a hint indicating the volume of the text letter.
