SMS GSM-7 Sanitizer for Preventing Twilio Billing Surprises
Instead of manually scrubbing every message, you can let the SMS GSM-7 Sanitizer do the work. It acts as a filter that catches those sneaky characters and converts them into safe ASCII. You get predictable costs and messages that actually land in the user's inbox.
What Vinkius changes
You get guaranteed 160-character compatibility for every SMS you send.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Unidecode & Emoji Regex.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does SMS GSM-7 Sanitizer save me money?
It prevents your messages from being split into multiple segments. By ensuring your text stays within the 160-character GSM-7 limit, you avoid the 3x surcharges many providers charge for multi-part SMS.
Does it remove all emojis?
Yes, it aggressively strips out all emojis and zero-width characters to ensure your message is compatible with standard telecom encoding.
Will it break my text?
No, it doesn't delete your content. It transliterates complex characters, like accents, into safe ASCII equivalents so they remain readable.
Is it for Twilio?
It works perfectly with Twilio, Zenvia, and any other service that uses standard GSM-7 encoding for SMS delivery.
How does it handle accents?
It converts complex accents and symbols into safe 7-bit ASCII. This ensures that characters like 'é' don't trigger a switch to expensive Unicode encoding.
Can it handle long messages?
It helps keep messages within the 160-character limit. If your message is too long, it will still be processed, but the capability's main job is ensuring encoding doesn't shrink that limit further.
Why does an emoji cost more?
Emojis force the telecom provider to use UCS-2 encoding, which cuts the character limit from 160 down to 70 per message segment.
What happens to accented letters?
Using the unidecode algorithm, letters like 'ç' become 'c' and 'ã' become 'a', ensuring strict ASCII compatibility.
Is this needed for WhatsApp?
No, WhatsApp handles Unicode perfectly. This is specifically for legacy SMS gateways like Twilio and SNS.
