Multipart SMS wasn’t trivial to stitch together then, absolutely did not have universal device support then, and in a few cases do not support it now.

You own an MVNO? That's amazing. I have a few questions regarding setting one up - if you have time, I'd like to ask you over email. My contact info is in my profile.
