SMS Marketing Text Shortener - Fit the 160-Character Limit

SMS messages have a strict 160-character limit. Go over and your message gets split into multiple texts, costing more and reducing engagement. Textrim removes filler words to fit your SMS campaigns within the limit - no AI rewrites that sound robotic.

The SMS Character Limit Problem

Standard SMS: 160 characters maximum
Over 160 chars: Message splits into 2+ texts
Cost impact: 2x-3x the price per message
User experience: Messages arrive out of order or incomplete

Every character matters in SMS marketing. Textrim helps you maximize your message while staying under the limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if my SMS goes over 160 characters?

It splits into multiple messages (2-3 texts), costing 2-3x more and arriving separately. This confuses customers and wastes budget.

Can I use this for bulk SMS campaigns?

Yes! Optimize your template once, then use it for thousands of messages. Every character saved multiplies across your entire campaign.

Will this work with SMS marketing platforms like Twilio?

Absolutely. Optimize your message in Textrim, then paste it into any SMS platform (Twilio, MessageBird, etc.).
