We have already seen how to send a SMS using JSMPP in the article Send SMS Using JSMPP. Since the length of a text SMS is 140, in order to send a long message containing more than 140 characters, we need to split the message and send with some headers to identify each message which is split.
We have an API named OptionalParameters.newSarSegmentSeqnum(seqNum) to set the sequence number for each message which are split so that they can be arranged together in the destination (SMSC). Since we need to accommodate headers each split message will contain only 135 characters.
The following class used to send long text message using JSMPP.
