*In case of writing messages in mixture of one-byte and two byte characters, all characters are recognised as two-byte characters and maximum letter becomes 70 characters.
*When you send SMS messages in two-byte characters, recipients may receive a SMS with unreadable characters. This may be caused since two-byte characters are not supported by overseas mobile carriers and mobile phones.
- If there are over 160 characters in a message, it will be divided by every 160 characters and sent as separate messages.
Please note that in this case additional points will be deducted according to the number of messages transmitted.

When you send an International SMS from your PC mail, you receive an E-mail to your PC mail address which is titled “Confirmation of SMS sending” for confirmation of service use purpose.
Notes on Sending Messages
- Because of the nature of communications services, there is a possibility that the delivery of SMS messages may be delayed or unsuccessful on account of failed communications systems or networks in or outside of Japan, or the status of the sender's phone (e.g. outside service area, power off, full inbox, and so on). We ask for your understanding in this matter when you use our service.
- Points will be deducted from your account even if you send a message to the wrong address. Please confirm the recipient's address before you send a message.
- If you change your e-mail address, you will not be able to use WorldDyne services because your email address will not match with the one you registered, and will not be authenticated.
Please see "Changing Email Address".
- In case you would like to send International SMS by PC mail, you need to register your PC mail address (including free mails).
