Are text messages with nodules and Cyrillic charged more?

Are text messages with nodules and Cyrillic charged more?

Much earlier, when there were no smartphones, we only had phones with the English alphabet, English keyboards and software. This meant that you could only compose an SMS from the letters of the English alphabet offered and no worries. The problem is that smartphones with various keyboards in all possible languages ​​and scripts are widely used, so the question is whether the SMS containing Cyrillic or letters with nodules is charged extra?

In short: NO, but just not directly! Namely…

SMS (Short Message Service) supports three variations of the alphabet: GSM 7-bit alphabet, 8-bit data alphabet, and 16-bit UCS-2 alphabet. Depending on which alphabet is used, the message can be 160 characters long for 7-bit, 140 for 8-bit, or 70 for 16-bit.

The first group includes the English alphabet, and Cyrillic, you guessed it, belongs to the third group – 16-bit.


Of course, it is not just about Cyrillic, it is valid for every letter that has letters that are not from the English alphabet, e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese…

So, when you type a message, and it says that there is still e.g., 50 characters and typing a letter with a comma or a Cyrillic letter, the number of characters will be drastically reduced due to the fact that one letter will “take” more space, more precisely data.

Writing in Cyrillic, or Latin with nodules, in an SMS message will not cause additional costs, but it can only happen that the message is divided into two, and then you pay for two messages instead of one.

If you are a postpaid and have messages in the package, you will NOT be charged anything special per message, just maybe send two. So, the same goes for postpaid and prepaid users.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.
