+Returns `int`.

+from status_sdk import Account
+
+account = Account()
+params = {
+    "name": "status-app-bot",
+    "password": "SNTPUMP"
+}
+account.login(**params)

+report = "A very long report..."
+
+# Split a long text into messages the app accepts
+for index in range(0, len(report), account.message_length):
