How to add a new line in SMS(Line Break).

Question

Hi All,
I need to send SMS from PL\SQL Procedure
The problem i have been facing is that the string being passed in as sms content is not parsing a newline character.
It shows all content in one line.
I need to break them in several lines.
Give me a direction how to add a new line in SMS.
Regards,
Raj.
