This error is specific to the deprecated /SMS/Messages API endpoint. When using this endpoint, your message body must be 160 characters or less.

You can send messages up to 1600 characters long by using the /Messages(link takes you to an external page) API endpoint.

For more info, please refer to our FAQ on message size constraints(link takes you to an external page).

The SMS body contains too many characters.
