Emojis are small images that can be used to express emotions and add personality to your text messages, making your communication more engaging. If you have a Custom Phone Number, including at least one emoji in your text or sending an MMS message (like a picture) will unlock the extended character count for your messages, increasing the limit from your plan standard characters to up to 1,000 characters. Sending messages with emojis or MMS with a Custom Phone Number will incur a charge of $0.05 per number texted (or one extra credit for Pay As You Go users).
Important Notes:
Extended Character Count Requirement: The extended character count (up to 1,000 characters) with a Custom Phone Number is only activated when your message includes at least one emoji OR you are sending an MMS message (like a picture). Standard text messages without emojis or MMS will adhere to the 320-character limit.
Custom Phone Number Benefits & Charges: Please remember that the extended character count and MMS capabilities are unlocked when using a Custom Phone Number and including an emoji or sending an MMS. Sending messages with emojis or MMS with a Custom Phone Number will incur an additional charge of $0.05 per number texted (or one extra credit for Pay As You Go users), applied at the point the message is confirmed for sending. This is in addition to your standard plan rates or credit usage for the base text message.
Character Count: While using emojis with a Custom Phone Number unlocks the extended character count, remember that each emoji still counts towards the overall character limit (up to 1,000 characters).
Do Not Copy/Paste: Please do not copy/paste Emojis from another source, as this may not be supported correctly by the platform. Use the built-in emoji library for best results. "Upgrade Your Texts: Bigger, Better, and More Visual!"
