Ive searched and searched but i can find anything. Whenever someone sends me a message that is larger than 160 characters i often receive a message like multimedia message has been modified and i need to have the person resend me the second part of the message. this is very frustrating. i haven't gotten this message lately so i dont no if thats exactly wat it says. i dont think i get this message if i receive the sms from another windows mobile fone, it only seems to happen with non-windows mobile smartphones, which are what most of my friends have. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it
SMS 160
Most providers limit Standard SMS to 160 char, EMS can sepearate them which most PDAs have. If you want longer texts your friends have to send you MMS (pix messages) with just text and no pictures.

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...
Hello everyone. I apologize if this question has been asked already.
On my "dumb" phones like LG etc. in Verizon network, I can send text message by 1,000 characters w/ extended text message. I think it sends multiple messages encoded in a special way to get past the 160 character SMS limit.
But, on my Windows Mobile devices, I can only send/receive 160 char messages, and when I receive 161+ char message, I receive a notice saying that the text message has been modified to be compatible with this device.
Why is "dumb phone" so much better to handle extended text messages but Windows Mobile cannot receive? It's a little bit oxymoronic, don't you think? Is there any way to enable extended text messaging functionality to windows mobile devices? Thanks in advance!
odd when i go over 160 it tells me that 2 sms's will be sendt maybe it's a setting
or something in your rom
I can send, but it doesn't compile them all into one single extended text message. So recipient receive many text message all at one time... they say it's annoying.
Then, if they send me extended text message, I receive 160 char, and after that.. it break away and say "extended message has been truncated due to a lack of support for enhanced messaging on this device."
Hey everyone.
I've had my X1i for a few months now and I'm having trouble with my text messaging. When I recieve an incoming text message it displays the wrong time for some reason and when I change the order of the text messages to see the received texts first it doesn't work. When I send a text to myself it displays the correct information but it doesn't when others send me texts. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

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

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
Hi guys,
I am running mattc 1.5b and I am having problem sending sms longer than 160 characters.
I am using handcent sms. If the message size is more than 160 characters, straight after i hit "send" i get a message failed to send notifications. I have confirmed that the message did not reach the intended recipient.
If i change the 'split 160' setting under 'send message settings' to anything other than don't split, the message will send and it will arrive as multiple sms's with 160 characters in each.
I have also tried to use the built in 'message' software to send a long sms, it first prompted me saying it failed to send but after a few auto-retries it will send eventually.
Anyone knows how to get handcent sms to work properly?
