SMS limit isn't by the OS, but by the provider. UTF8 messages are usually 70 chars, GSM 7-bit is limited to 140/160 depends on provider. Longer messages are broken into parts.

SMS content is usually limited to 1120 bit by the provider (= 160 characters for the most common enconding). For longer messages, the content is normally divided into several SMS.
