Text messages
You can send and receive multipart messages made of several ordinary text messages (network service) that can contain
pictures.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your message exceeds 160
characters, it will be sent as a series of two or more messages.

means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as two messages.
