Length of SMS message is 160 cars when sending ASCII characters, and 70, when sending international (UTF-8) characters. It does not depend on ROM.

Some Androids convert messages longer than 3x160 (or 3x70) char to MMS.

Best to watch out as android seems to think that if you go over the allowed character length then you obviously want to send an mms :D

Which we have to pay for, most people have unlimited texts these days not mms

Cyanogen mod has some settings for this

Interested to know...

Why people keep using such stupid titles for posts. ( I realise this isn't a very helpful post, but I took the time to read this to see if I could help even with the stupid title, and found it already answered so just wanted to vent)

Is there any way of knowing how many characters you have used as you are composing a message?

I use Go SMS from the market and that tells you as you type.
