The "253" in the mockup would be the number of characters the user typed. The "306" would be the character limit for the amount of SMS's already started (which is 160 for 1 message in the GSM 7-bit alphabet, and 153 per message in Concatenated SMS using the GSM 7-bit alphabet).

I would propose to show this information above the Send button, as in the attached mockup. As in the mockup, an info button could be provided. It would open an information screen informing the user that the message has to be sent using multiple SMS's, and that they probably will be charged multiple messages by the provider.
