Cannot send multipart SMS to iPhone users

Type an SMS message that spans two parts, no special characters or emojis just plain text, and when sending to an iPhone recipient the sending will fail ("Cannot not send SMS to +447whatever", and then "Problem with sending message" below the message, and retrying never works). Send the same message to myself (Jolla Phone) or a user of a cheap old Nokia and it succeeds. Both devices (sending Jolla and receiving iPhone) are on the EE UK network, in the UK. I've now had this problem twice, it's repeatable, with two iPhone recipients (no idea what network the second iPhone was on but couldn't send them a message and had to call them in the end as it was urgent). Jolla device is fully up to date with 2.0.2.51.

This is absurd, please fix ASAP, this has only been a problem since upgrading from the previous stable Sailfish release and I had thought it a problem with the receiving phones (numbers no longer valid etc.) until I realised it only affected multi-part messages. This renders the Jolla phone pretty useless as most people I know are (sadly) iPhone users. If you need debug info let me know.
