Pedant alert. Actually that's 140 octets. 7-bit encoding means
that a message can have 160 characters. 16-bit encoding limits 
a message to 70 characters. Multipart messages have a 6 octet
header to permit the receiving handset to put the messages
together leaving 134 octets in each part for the actual message.
