+<p>When you send an SMS message all of the characters in the message are encoded
+as 7-bit GSM code or Unicode Character Set-2 (UCS-2). The message is then
+sent in one or more Protocol Data Units (PDU). A PDU contains information
+about the control, address and data to deliver an SMS message. </p>
+<p>The 7-bit encoding cannot represent all characters. UCS-2 includes all
+of the characters within the Basic Multilingual Plane, but it reduces the
+number of characters in one PDU from 160 to 70. Users are often charged by
+the PDU. A message encoded using UCS-2 can be more expensive than the one
+encoded using 7-bit GSM. There are four types of SMS encodings to encode an
+SMS message: </p>
