Alphabet and message length
Writing in Urdu (Arabic script) always uses Unicode, so a message to Pakistan in Urdu holds 70 characters in one segment and 67 in each part of a longer text. Short notices in English or plain Latin letters hold 160 characters, which keeps a long message in fewer segments.
Main languages: Urdu and English.
