Re: Bytes?

It should have been bits.

Though, the only two encodings I know in use by SMS messages are UCS-2 (16 bits * 70 characters) and GSM 03.38 (7 bits * 160 characters)...

While apparently there /is/ a mode for 8-bit bytes, it's meant for raw data and generally not used for regular text messages.
