I know it is even worse for some other languages, but I don't think it
is very interesting to calculate exact numbers for a couple of hundred
languages. The most typical worse case for a SMS is 70 two byte chars.

Hoi,
Did you consider what this does in other scripts ... the notion that it is a
small number of characters is based on the notion that the script will be
the Latin script.. Other scripts tend to show as the Unicode numbers..

That is 96 chars, with spaces, of 140 bytes available in a SMS. For some
languages the attribution will take more than one message. Ooops...
