It doesn't work for me. Also, in case Saturn missed it, encoding of special characters still doesn't work (at least, for polish special chars). Tried it both with sending SMS to myself, and just using smssend to input message into conversation - all special characters appear as junk.

As for long sms'es - while trying to send more than 70 characters, I just get "FAILED" after trying to send SMS, without any additional informations.
