I use the Firefox extension Teleflip to send my girl text messages all the time. When you are done typing press "End" and it will tell you how many characters you have left. I'm thinking of improving by typing in notepad then the hotkey will break the message up into multiple parts. Here it is...

Nice idea, Thanks for sharing.
I just had a look at the TeleFlip homepage. They say you can send an email to that person. So I wonder why you need to know the number of chars left? Is the FireFox extension differently? Does it send SMS? Does it work with non north american numbers?

SMS messages are limited in length. Hence the name - Short Message... um.. Something.

The firefox extension is quicker to send an sms (which ends up really being an email). I don't think it works ouside of NA (been a while since I checked). If you send a message with too many chars it may never get to the destination.

160 characters is the max for SMS messages. A key is to remember that the header info (to:, from:) does count against the total character count for the message.
Most carriers have email addresses that you can send to to then transfer the message into SMS format. Alltel users have the email...
[email protected]
(where the X's are replaced by the phone number, with area code)
Anything that gets sent to that email address gets converted by alltel into an SMS message. Sometimes it splits long messages up into multiple SMS messages.
