SMS Segment Calculator #

The SMS Segment Calculator is a Dart package designed to help developers accurately calculate the number of SMS segments required for messages, taking into account both GSM and UCS-2 encoding standards. This is essential for applications that involve SMS messaging, where managing the length and cost of messages is crucial.

• Accurate SMS Segmentation: Determines how many segments a given SMS message will require based on its content and the necessary encoding (GSM or UCS-2).
• Support for Special Characters and Emojis: Automatically handles texts containing emojis and special characters by switching to UCS-2 encoding when required.
• Ease of Integration: Offers simple, straightforward functions that can be easily integrated into any Dart or Flutter project to enhance SMS functionalities.
• Cost-Effective Messaging: Helps in effectively managing SMS costs by providing precise segment counts for accurate budgeting and planning.
