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?

Does text messaging work with FLEXMAIL? I would send a text message to someone and they would not receive it. Can someone confirm with their FLEXMAIL SMS? I'm using a CINGULAR 8525 with 1000 txt message plan.
same issue here. I try sending txt messages and no one receives it.
using flexmail.
Also, does flexmail shows no unread messages on the today screen when there ARE in fact 5 messages un read in multiple accounts... Is there a better mail / message application out there?

send a text message to 4650 - in your text message type list
to get the number associated with the buddy
send a text to 4653 - in your text message type help
beware - it sends a list of 7 buddies per text. So if you have 140 screen names on your list, expect 20 text messages.

send a text to the number associated with their number
to send a instant message to an unlisted screen name
send a text message to 4654 - in your text message type SCREENAME: (space) message example bobster: hello
It would be great if this could be integrated into an app (much like what OZ messaging does, since it uses SMS).
yup, cept for the fact that OZ needs a data connection
doing the SMS way, you will have full control and won't get disconnected like agile messenger im+ and all those other messenger program, because you don't need a data connection.
only if we could incorporate it into a program like imsms
Is there a program that uses text messages instead of data?
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."
i'll send a text to someone, then for some reason. they will get the same text like 4 times. why is my phone keep sending the text? even a few hours or days?
thanks
hey bigpat, the issue is with the Cody SMS threaded messaging. Just upgrade your ROM and use the new built-in threaded messaging with WM6.1
I use the built-in text message program in WM6.1 and I get the same issue. Once in a while, I will get the "Message was not sent. Try again?" message. Of course I click it because I want the message to eventually go through, but the receiver will end up getting multiple messages.
The towers also much acknowledge a message is being sent or receive and then respond back with an acknoledgement. Until this is all complete and if you keep clicking resend. It may resend everything over and over.
My phones having the issue with receiving them. The phone receives a message sends back the ok, but never receives it back to the phone. This then causes the original message to continue to be pushed until it gets a response to allow the newer messages to come. Very frustrating.
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.
