Scope: what these figures say, and what they do not
These volumes concern only the SMS Anonyme gateway. They in no way reflect national SMS traffic, whose official data falls under ARCEP, the telecoms regulator. Taking them for the French market would be a misreading. Aggregated, they identify no sender.
Methodology
An SMS is counted as sent as soon as the gateway has accepted it after the sender's confirmation, and as received as soon as it reaches the incoming line. Periods rely on the French time zone. A long message split into several segments counts as a single send, not the number of segments carried.
Technical benchmarks of the SMS format
160
Symbols per SMS in the GSM-7 alphabet
The format's original limit, inherited from the GSM standard.
70
Symbols per SMS in UCS-2 encoding
As soon as an emoji or a non-Latin alphabet appears.
153
Usable symbols per segment of a long SMS
The reassembly header nibbles away part of the payload.
140
Usable bytes carried by an SMS
This is where the 160- and 70-character thresholds come from.
Your most frequent questions
Q01Do these figures reflect the French SMS market?
No. They are limited to the SMS Anonyme gateway. National market statistics are, for their part, published by ARCEP, the telecoms regulatory authority.
Q02How often are the counters updated?
The gateway is queried continuously, with a five-minute cache designed to keep the site fast.
