Here is the answer I received from support (Crystal) :
---------------
Sometimes updates are broken into 3 parts when the character type causes the update to exceed 140 characters. SMS is limited to 140 bytes; for English, that equates to 140 characters. However, for extended European alphabets, that's not quite true; each character requires up to 4 bytes, so:

?????? is 6 characters, but consumes 18 bytes.
Voile est l'art du contrôd'un bateau àoile. is 48 characters, but consumes 50 bytes.

what's more problematic is that when sending "international" (Unicode) messages, we're limited to 70 characters, since the SMS carriers convert ALL characters into 2 bytes, doubling the size of the message. We're working on creative ways to get around this but for now, iwe must comply with the carriers. Sorry about that!

I've checked and apparently the message is cut every 70 characters
Is this normal ?

Tweets to SMS cut in 3 parts

When I receive an update by SMS, it is always cut in several parts. That means I receive 3 sms for every update.
I'm in France on the SFR network.

Hi,
My wife and I are having the same problem. (vince2bir, amandiiine)
Only the tweets of the first following are being shown with our own.
I have try to unfollow, refollow. I can only have one of my "following" appear on my home page.
