message = SmsMessage("He\\o W{}rld!").length #{} are characters from the extended table and therefore require 2 bytes of space
# result: 15 bytes

#Get amount of segments the message will be split to
message = SmsMessage("Cool Message!").segments
# result: 1 message

#You can also have it calculate segment count with twilio message headers in mind
