Is it possible to prevent the phone from turning a sms larger than 3 singles into a mms ? Im asking because i dont use data plans on my phone that much, and i know that most phones today are able to send a sms that is containing up to 7 sms's to another phone without turning it into a mms, and therefore needing gprs transmissions...

Does anybody know how to send text messages/sms over the internet/edge/gprs on the tmobile wing?
I just got a wing and have the unlimited internet plan, but no text messaging plan at all.
So if you know anything please help.
Thank you.
From what I know of the cellular system (correct me if I am wrong) text messages travel through different routes than the internet. It's part of the phone system, not TCP/IP. You can use instant messaging programs, and possibly some sort of web-to-text output, but I doubt you'll be able to receive any texts.
I know you can send some from the T-mobile web site, but not receive any back...
I have a HTC Fuze without a data plan. I was wondering if there is a way to send or recieve MMS messages with a Wi-Fi connection. thanks
i tried looking for a solution, but i couldnt find anything.
I would also love to send MMS over WiFi.
E-mail
The only way i can think of is to email someone the picture or maybe you could email their phone i dont know about pictures but you can text phones using by sending an email to [email protected] or whatever the ending is i never tried it with pictures though
Hi, guys! I've just moved from SonyEricsson P1i to T-Mobile Vibrant (unlocked, rooted) and experiencing some issues with the phone. Maybe someone could help to solve those...
1) I have only 12,4Gigs of internal storage. looks kind weird, it should have 16 as I thought.
2) When I receive SMS from short number (332, 10901, 9991 or alphabetic) the messaging program groups those messages in a single thread and tells me that sender is "unknown". All those numbers aren't in my phone book.
3) I have 2 access points. One is for Internet the second one is for MMS. I can use Internet and send MMS, but it can't download a single MMS. ( If I delete an Internet AP than MMS forks fine. Network is 1800MHz, EDGE.
Thanx!
anyone? ((

Those messages might be for Visual Voice mail or another network feature like Mobile contact back up..
You never get to use all 16GB of storage..
Try combining your MMS and Data APN's into one instead of two separate ones
hey guys,
im having a little problem, if im typing a long sms it auto changes it to a mms and for some reason which i cant workout why ?
can anybody shed any light on this
many thanks guys
it's does that to save you money - 1 mms costs less than 3 sms's.. which is fine unless you've got a ton of sms's in your contract and no mms's...
I don't think you can switch it just send 3 sms's in the options (but I know you CAN in Handscent)..
not if your sms is unlimited. Is it possible to completely disable this feature?
you didn't actually read my post did you..?
AFAIK you can't disable it on the stock Messaging app. You either gotta use some other app like Handcent, or just break your SMS's into 3 messages, and send it in several parts.
That doesn't make sense? When my sms is longer as 2sms, it just send a long sms. Not mms. I think depends on your network. In netherlands you can send a long sms to every phone that can recieve long sms...

Stock Verizon GN3, Stock Message App.
This seems to be a new problem, but whenever I try to send texts with more than 160 characters, it just fails to send. If I reduce the text to 160 or under, it sends just fine. When I first found the problem of it not sending, I pulled the battery and SIM card, and if I remember right, it then did send the long text. But it stopped again shortly after.
I have looked through all the settings, but don't see anything that would automatically split it into 2 texts, or anything else relevant.
Is this an inherent limitation of the Stock Messaging App that I've only just noticed, or something not working right?
I've seen suggestions to switch to Handcent or other App, and I might do this, but would like to get the Stock App to handle this properly if possible.
Thanks.
Any text over 160 characters your phone converts the message to a MMS message that uses your data connection instead of your cell signal like a SMS message..Now I think this is a Verizon thing but if u use wanams xposed module or the other xposed modules that will stop the conversion to MMS and just split the text... that is the only way I know to change it without editing the code....

Thanks for the reply.
If it just converts it to MMS, then it should still just send, and not fail. I understand that it'll use my Data connection, rather than the cell signal, but this shouldn't be a problem: I have Verizon's 3G Network Extender in my home (since my home has poor reception), and I'm sitting right next to it, and a strong WiFi signal available from my ISP, for data.
If this is the case, I still don't understand why it would fail to send, even as an MMS??
Verizon sets up MMS service so that it is only available across a mobile data connection, so your wifi shouldn't be playing a role. And SMS service (which is much older technology than MMS and doesn't use the same "mobile data" link as MMS) also uses the cell radio exclusively.
I use the stock messaging app for texts over 160 characters without a problem (it turns them into MMS as the prior respondent mentioned), but I am on MJ7. Don't know if that makes a difference.
I wonder if it is a bug relating to your use of a network extender? You would know if you got a different result when sending texts > 160 chars when you were on VZW's regular network away from your place.
I recently helped my sister out with a similar set of troubles, and the problem turned out that her (at&t) range extender was hung/frozen.
If that was the case, you would have erratic "trouble" sending any MMS messages. In any event, you should see the "network extender icon" in your notification bar - but it might be useful to verify that you do have a data connection through the extender (turn off WiFi and see if you can still browse).
It won't hurt to power cycle the extender, wait for all it's status lights come up correctly, and then see if that changes anything. (You can send yourself text messages).
Hope that helps.
Try and send yourself or somebody a picture message and report if it goes through fine so we can eliminated any MMS problems..and MMS won't send from wifi...only 3 or 4g

Thanks for the added ideas and suggestions guys. I had wondered if the Network Extender might be mucking things up. I'll explore the various trouble-shooting steps you both suggested, and track it down.
Will re-post if problems persist.
