Can This sms (include áéíóú ñ) send in one message？

I have a question. My Sms context is below, can it send in one message?

Este mensaje prueba la capacidad del equipo para enviar mensajes cortos de longitud 160 caracteres. Se prueban los siguientes caracteres: 1234567890 áéíóú ñ¿?¡!

This message is 160 caracteres, as we know ,7-bit 160 ,8-bit 140 ,us-2 70 . "áéíóú ñ" is not 7-bit but 8-bit, So I think it can not send it in one message.

But my customer said it must be sent in one message.

If somebody have experience in it, help me to confirm it.

sms messages do not use a regular ascii 7-bit character set. Wikipedia has a good explanation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_03.38). Short answer, you might be able to get it into the required 160 characters if you use the correct National language shift table.
