The maximum SMS body length is actually 70 Unicode-encoded characters (2 bytes each).
If you are seeing a maximum message length of only 70 characters this is an indication that you are requesting Unicode encoding, For UTF encoded long messages, they are split into 67 character chunks (with 3 characters used for the segmentation info and to concatenate the individual messages back together)
