VoIP.ms Service Restrictions
The messaging service offered by VoIP.ms has a restriction of 160 characters per message. However, YakChat overcomes this issue by sending multiple texts with a 1 second delay between each text. This allows text messages of more than 160 characters to be sent and received as several separate texts. VoIP.ms also limits outbound texts to 100 per month. So when a longer message results in multiple texts, each individual text will be deducted from this limit. If you require an increase in this monthly 100 outbound text limit, or have any other queries related to the Voip.ms service, please contact: support@voip.ms.
Step 1: Enable the VoIP.ms API
