Any one know if you can change the text message character length?
Most new phones have a maximum of 400 characters or something, my atom only allows 160 characters.
Is it not allowing you to write more than 160 characters?
Default is 160 characters per text message, looks like it cannot be altered (well anyway, I didn't see that option in SKTools).
But of course you should be able to send SMS way more than 160 characters.
Yeah I can like as long an SMS as I want but it's broken into 160 character parts to be sent. That's how SMS is done by carriers I think.
yeah if u type more than 160 characters it'll send as 2 messages and so on. But i can receive text messages longer than 160 as one message.
Standard SMS per message for any phone is 160 char.
O2 Atom Exec allows you to type more than 160...which means u are being bill more than 1 sms as long u write more than 160...
if say u type 200... the other party will receive 200...on the back-end of the telecom will take it as 2 sms...
Hi all, is possible to change the sms font size to bigger in TF3d message tab? I had tried ZoomMessaging extension by mUn and it doesnt work for me. any idea?
THX
Go to mail tab and select a mailbox. Open an incoming mail. After then select the options..
Menu/View/Text Size/Larger or Largest.
There is not a specific option to sizing incomming SMS Message text size on TouchFlo. The SMS text size is common with mail text size. It's so easy

Hi all,
Ive noticed for my ATT tilt 2, the text messaging limits it to only 160 characters. When i go over the 160 character limit, i dont see the rest of the message and im not sure if whether the characters past 160 characters are sent or not. Is there anyway to change this? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Cheers!
My understanding is that this is a limitation of SMS in general, not your device or carrier. If your message is greater than 160 characters, then the message is sent as 2 SMS, rather than 1.
the above poster is correct ::highfive:: guythathasateddbearforasig!
Hi ohyeahar,
First off, thanks for the reply. On my old SE phone, when i send over the 160 character limit it does automatically send two text message and it shows that i sent 2 text message in my sent message folder. However, for my tilt 2, it just shows only 1 text message and it cuts off at 160 characters. So im not sure if it actually sent 2 text messages or if it only sent 1 and it just sent at the cutoff of 160 characters.
Any idea with that or how to change that so if its past 160 character, it will automatically send 2 messages instead of 1?
Thanks!

Don't know what you mean, dude. I just sent myself a message that's 170 characters to see what you mean. See the following screenshots. The sequence of "1234567890" (which is characters number 161 through 170) appears to me as the recipient and as the sender.
This is consistently shown via the main SMS tab in Manila, the SMS tab inside the unified communications tab in Manila, the WinMo default threaded messaging window, and in the sent items of the WinMo default messaging app.
the tilt 2 will allow you to type up to 800 characters and it will split it up into 5 sms messages to the end user
now if you want a large message all as 1, send it as an mms, i dont remember how large you can type in mms format, but its more then 800 characters, and it will be all as 1 big message.
I may know what you mean, and see what you mean as it's happening on my Tilt 2. In the Sense UI messaging application (if you slide to Messages, touch it, and reply) it only shows 160 characters of the message you type. But if you actually go to All Messages, and from the Inbox click the person who you sent it to, it shows the full message. I believe it's just a screen limitation with the Sense UI, but the full message should have been sent.
Thanks for all the inputs guys! It was very helpful.
ianderson_76: thanks, that was the problem. After going to all messages, I can see the full text being sent and received.
Cheers!

I have a Tilt 2 on ATT...and I noticed that there's a message that pops up everytime I send a text in TF3D...
It a confirmation that the message was sent. It's really stupid and I want it gone...but can't figure out how to delete it...
Any thoughts?

hi all
i have tried searching for the answer but cant find it in the forums,so excuse me if this has been asked b4
when i receive a message which i like 2 or 3 text msgs long when i goto forward it it only displays the text that can fit into 1 msg,the only way i can do this is to use copy and paste!!
is there a setting to change or is this the only way to do it?
using standard wm6.1 from htc
thanks inadvance
can anybody help me ?
i love the phone but this is really frustrating as i recieve alot of texts a day and forward them all the time
thanks
Unfortunately there is a limit to amount of text you can send in one msg (160 characters).
If you want to send more than 160 characters it'll need to be 2 or more msgs. Alternatively you could send a mms using a word document
Hey Everyone,
The one thing I didn't like with my new HTC Snap was that when I was typing an SMS message (a new message or a reply in a thread), the font size of my typed characters were way too small for me. Even adjusting "View..Font Size" while reading an email message didn't effect my typing font size.
But, by luck I found a setting in the registry that works!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox]
RichEditHostFontSize = 10 (adjust this value to 13 to increase font size).
Note: This also adjusts the fontsize of the recipient names/number in the "TO:" line when composing a new SMS message.
Hope this helps someone...
Thanks for the tip. Will this too adjust the font when reading sms, or shall i say, the received sms?

No, you need to open a regular email message in the phone, then on the menu you will see "View....Text Size" and that option will set the reading text size of emails and sms messages.
Thank you for the quick reply.
