Paste any English, Urdu or mixed-language message to estimate GSM or Unicode encoding, SMS parts and billable message count before sending.
Urdu, Arabic and other non-English scripts use Unicode/UCS-2 encoding. If a message contains even one Urdu character, the whole SMS is counted as Unicode.
The checker automatically detects GSM/plain text or Unicode/UCS-2 text and estimates billable SMS parts.
