How long are normal SMS messages?

Most text messaging services have a limit of 160 characters. One can send a message within that limit, but that can make the message a little confusing. You can find yourself in a difficult situation while structuring their text into a greeting, the crux of the message and the necessary call to action. To run an effective SMS marketing campaign, you need to phrase words properly.
