I want to increase the letter limit for SMS

[blackspidey08]

130 letters are too little of a message for me. I had an edit on my treo 800w that would allow me to change the text limit from 160 letters to 1600!! I want to do the same thing with my Touch Diamond but I cant find anything that will lead me to it. Please help asap! Thanks to anyone in advance.

well, its a easy regedit....
cource, it won't make much of a diffrence as the carrier cuts the messages where they want....
And srry to tell you buddy, they did that on your old phone too

But if it makes you happy to see it say 1600

Edit:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TextShared
"IS637MaxAsciiCharacters" to a decimal value of "1600"

delete what?

[psycho_maniac]

delete both "count"s in compose_sms.htm and the one "count" in thread_sms.htm in /windows

just to let you know. if you edit the count over 160. it will not matter anyways. this has something to do with carriers or the network.

If you want it easy search for sms160.cab. It floats around a lot.

[psycho_maniac]

actually just look for a mightyrom and he should have it in the 2nd or 3rd post of that thread.

edit: ok i went and read that thread anyways so i thought id find that for you.

i usually dont like doing this but since you already know what it is going to do ill post a direct link to the cab: http://www.cedonulli.org/msr/essentials/sms160.zip
and then to make myself feel better ill post where i found it. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...30&postcount=5

Not that I was writing 1600 letter text messages I just dont want a limit on how long my message is. I KNOW that they networks limit how long the message RECEIVED. Ex: If I were to actually write a 1600 letter text message, it wont cut me off at 160, forcing me to start another message.
