Actually the GSM specification is 160 characters per message. And that is merely a restriction at protocol level : at the application level, most modern GSM terminals are capable of slicing a message of usually up to 800 characters in up to five messages as necessary, and that is transparent to users at both ends. Of course there is the issue that SMS is still often billed according to usage - but that is not a technical issue.
