MaxCharsPerMsg=160
MaxPartsPerMsg=1
MaxRecipients=10
GetNumCharsPerMessageSMS=160
Don't change the "MaxCharsPerMsg".

Instead change the MaxPartsPerMsg to 10 (from 1) and it will allow you 10 messages (1600 total characters). You can increase/decrease as you see fit from there.

If you change MaxCharsPerMsg it will work, but it will show the number of essages incorrectly.

For example if you set MaxCharsPerMsg to 1600 and type 1599 characters, it will show 1599 characters, 1 message. Your poor receipient will receive 10 SMS's.
