SMS Cost When Using Emojis and Special Characters.
Using emojis 👉🧑⚕️⚕️or special characters modifies the SMS part character count. They modify the SMS part to 70 characters instead of the usual 160.
In other words, each SMS part will cost .12 cents per 70 characters if the text includes emojis or special characters, and it will cost 0.12 cents per 160 characters if you don't include emojis or special characters.Pro Tip: We suggest adding the patient's first name, pharmacy name, and even the name of the sender can increase the response rate
