SMS Content Checker

The tool analyzes an SMS text to determine encoding requirements (GSM-7 vs UCS-2), counts characters, detects URLs, and estimates required segments. It provides a concise report showing encoding, total characters, and the number of segments, enabling pre-send optimization. Conceptually, it treats SMS messages as constrained payloads where each segment has a fixed character capacity; when multipart, the per-segment capacity decreases. The system applies standard GSM rules and allows URL shortening as a strategy to reduce segment count. Beneficiaries include marketing teams drafting campaigns, developers integrating messaging services, and compliance teams validating content before dispatch. Unique value lies in combining encoding detection, URL impact assessment, and segment forecasting into a single predictive tool, rather than requiring manual counting or carrier-specific research. Typical use cases include validating promotional texts, transactional alerts, and informational updates for regional campaigns. Core features include encoding detection, character counting, segment estimation, URL handling, and optional region-aware rule guidance. Outputs support downstream processes by offering structured data for cost estimation, QA checks, and exportable results for compliance records.
