Hi All,
Can anyone confirm if the maximum MO-SMS that can be sent is less than 60 characters including spaces?
For OSMO-NITB, we reach a maximum of 59 characters for MO-SMS, while for OSMO-BSC, we only reach a maximum of 50 characters (MO-SMS).
Is this a known issue?
TIA.
Best Regard,

Hi Ron,
I tested now with my sysmobts running latest osmocom master (201705-nightly).
I can send successfuly an SMS with something between 100-160 characters just fine.
I also tried sending a large SMS with more than 160 chars, like 200chars, and everything worked fine too.

I have worked quite extensively with SMS and have not experienced any such limitation at all, or any deviation from standard. AFAIK an SMS payload is 140 bytes, Always. What you get in there depends on other things, like what character are in the message.
For OSMO-NITB, we reach a maximum of 59 characters for MO-SMS, while for OSMO-BSC, we only reach a maximum of 50 characters (MO-SMS).
Can you elaborate about your setup, what it is you are doing? What is it you are experiencing when you send a longer message? Are you using SMPP, or only inside the nitb/bsc? It is the MS that forms the SMS, not the network. I've never seen anything where the network says "sorry too big, split that SMS into two", I don't believe such a thing exists.
Hi Pau and Keith,
We updated to the latest version and the SMS for both osmo-nitb and osmo-bsc are now working fine.
Thanks for the advised.
