160 character SMS limit

I hate to say this but ... isn't the SMS character limit 140 characters? I believe this is why you are bring charged for two messages!

Every phone I've owned and messaged with shows how many characters I've typed and when I've typed enough to make it two messages.

In Europe, 160 characters are counted as 1 SMS.
I dont see anywhere where i can see how many characters i have written :(
