Text Message Roaming Charges Warning
So, the story is that a family member was traveling and they bought a roaming pack before they left which came with a bundle of text messages. They carefully counted the text messages they used while abroad, but weren't aware that > 160 character messages count as multiple messages, since this happens seamlessly behind the scenes. As a result, they ended up owing ~$40 in roaming charges. It's nothing like the $X,000 bills that people have received, but a good warning nonetheless. Those that aren't technically savvy probably aren't aware of the character limit, and it's not really something that would be top of mind.
Hopefully this helps someone.
