Did the cost increase?
No, sending Unicode SMS does not have an additional cost, but the total character limit is reduced to 70.
Therefore, if your message has more than 70 characters, it will be necessary to send more than one message, which does carry an additional cost.
If you want to avoid this, you have two options:
Remove the Unicode characters, with the help of our campaign composer or by contacting our support team.
Reduce the total number of characters to 70 or less.
