Thanks to Skype, now I know why each time I type my name (François) correctly at the end of an SMS, its length limit suddenly drops by 91 chars: because certain chars (like ç or €) cause the SMS character set to switch from GSM to Unicode. With the former set an SMS is limited to 160 chars, while it's only 70 with the later.

Rent a flat in Paris
Going to the City of lights for a short stay? I have a flat to rent in Paris. Roomy (up to 6 people), comfortable, calm, fully furnished, modern, with broadband internet, private terrasse, garden and parking… You'll love it (I did when I lived there!). Visit appartement-jardin-paris.com for more information and booking.
