- SMS Unicode. Messages that can contain any character (such as accents, emoticons, symbols, etc.) but have a maximum capacity of 70 characters.
- Certified SMS. Certified messages are verified by an external entity and are legally valid. After the submission, it will be generated a PDF document that certifies that the communication has taken place and also the content of the message.
