Google play do not allow use of appropriate permissions for Attaching Images

Once MMS service is purchased (in your carrier plan), you can attach images/audio files/ video files to your replies.

Keep in mind that this will always use the phone’s messaging service to send an MMS and in the case of video the size you can send is limited; possibly to less than 300KB.

We recommend changing the camera settings to record lower quality videos which will be smaller.

Question 10

How long can my SMS messages be?

Accepted Answer

Based on his personal observations and on analysis of the typical lengths of postcard and Telex messages, Hillebrand (The SMS message concept developer) argued that 160 characters was sufficient to express most messages succinctly.

SMS Message

Short messages (SMS message) can be encoded using a variety of alphabets: the default GSM 7-bit alphabet, the 8-bit data alphabet, and the 16-bit UCS-2 alphabet. Depending on which alphabet the subscriber has configured in the handset, this leads to the maximum individual short sms message sizes of
• 160 7-bit characters,
• 140 8-bit characters,
• 70 16-bit characters.
GSM 7-bit alphabet support is mandatory for GSM handsets and network elements, but characters in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Cyrillic alphabet languages (e.g., Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, etc.) must be encoded using the 16-bit UCS-2 character encoding

Multipart or “long SMS message” can be sent using multiple messages, 6 to 8 segment messages are the practical maximum. So you can reliably send out up to 1,000 characters in a text. The Android phone will split the SMS message up every 160 characters (especially important if you have a link in your text).

The receiving handset is then responsible for reassembling the message and presenting it to the user as ONE LONG SMS MESSAGE.

Question 12

Why Keyword based Autoresponder’ Reports show that message was sent but it has not arrived?

Accepted Answer

KW Autoresponder (AND ANY OTHER APP) can only know for certain if it sent a text.
We use native android mechanism for sms sending. The texts are sent to your carrier and back we get one of the three statuses – Sent, Error, Sending. Then your carrier should deliver it to the recipient.
Unfortunately there is no way to validate delivery.
So when KW Autoresponder says it has sent a message it has just sent it to your carrier.
So the statuses in the Reports say if the text was successfully sent (to) / received (by) your carrier.
There are a lot of reasons why it may never get received.
