NiCE CXone is pleased to announce the following features and enhancements for Outbound Engagement (SmartReach/LiveVox). 

Compose SMS Messages of up to 1000 Characters

To empower agents to provide detailed information in a single text, we increased the SMS character limit from 160 to 1,000 characters and added a helpful character counter.  This enhancement will help agents to have more natural and complete conversations without the frustration of tight character limits.
