Re: split sms

A message could have 160 chars if one message, and 153 chars each message if
more than one,
because concatenation header occupies 6 bytes %00%03%00%01%02 and it remains
134 bytes
to use, 134 of 8 bit data or 134 * 8 / 7 = 153,1428.. = 153 7-bit chars.

So, if you know that it will be more than 160 chars, split it at 153*n
