Can I send Enhanced Text Messages (160+ characters) to a non-Verizon Wireless Subscriber (Inter-Carrier Messaging-EMS or International Carrier Messaging-EMS)?
Yes, with some limitations. When you send Enhanced Text Messages to non-Verizon Wireless subscribers, delivery will be attempted, however, all inserted graphics, emoticons, sounds and text formatting will be deleted and the message will be converted into plain text. In addition, Enhanced Text Messages greater than 160 characters will be delivered as multiple segments (each up to 160 characters). The EMS-capable handset sending the message will be billed for a single message sent. Note: Intercarrier/International SMS does not support non-ASCI 7 bit characters so if International characters or symbols like ú and ñ are used, they may cause delivery to fail. Some non-EMS devices may not properly convert an EMS message to an SMS message. The message received by the non-enhanced text messaging device will be unreadable. Both sender and recipient will be charged for unreadable messages. Back to top • How do I send text messages from the Verizon Wireless website You can send a text message fro
