Update Max Text Character Limit
For Credits plans, the limit is 960 characters and for monthly the limit, by default, starts at 320 characters. Monthly accounts cannot adjust their max character limit unless they enable the enhanced texts feature. Credits plan accounts may want to restrict the length of text messages in order to save credits by sending shorter messages.

Why can't I record a longer message?
You may notice that you can't record up to 120 seconds at times in your account. There are two reasons why your account may be restricting you to less than 120 seconds:
- You don't have enough credits. Every 30 seconds of your voice message requires 1 credit for each phone number you are calling. If you need your message to be longer than 30 seconds, you may need additional credits per phone number. Read about how credits work.
- Your account settings may already be set to limit your message length to less then 120 seconds. You can edit these settings using the instructions above.
