Comment 8 for bug 1278790

=== UX Comment ===

Agreed with the proposed solution. I recommend that we present the character counter string with the following format: “n(z)”; n= character count and z= number of SMS (e.g.: 56(1) —> 160(1) —> 161(2)). Because the suggested format seems a bit complex IMO and the most relevant info is the number of SMS rather than the character limit. The string can change to “MMS” when sending a message with attachments.

@raecontreras is working on a visual for the text size, position and alignment of the string in relation to the text field and she’ll post it here as soon as it’s ready.
