Preserve SMS Segment Count When Using Line Breaks
We would like to propose an enhancement to the SMS segment calculation by preventing line breaks from unnecessarily increasing the SMS segment count. Many users add line breaks to improve the readability and organization of their messages, but doing so can sometimes cause the message to exceed the character limit for a single SMS segment, resulting in additional charges. This behavior may lead to confusion and increased messaging costs, even when the message content remains essentially unchanged. By optimizing the way line breaks are handled during segment calculation, while ensuring compatibility with SMS encoding standards and message delivery across carriers, the platform can provide a more user-friendly and cost-effective messaging experience. This enhancement would allow users to format their messages without worrying about unexpected increases in SMS segments, ultimately improving customer satisfaction and usability.
