Why do Android phone text arrive as several texts?

[AC Question]

Android phone text arrives as several texts.

Why does a text sent to me on my Android phone arrive in several boxes, even if consisting of less than 100 characters? Each box is charged as a text against the number of texts that I have left.

Sometimes if your text contains special characters they may take more space than normal characters thus making your text longer.
