From something I read, a guy said that a verizon tech said it's a problem with windows mobile, and won't change until MS does something about it.
well in the TP section there's some thread about sms lag,
that will remove the counting on the text message,
like every character you put in it won't count,
but it still will only send 160character texts.

And that's strange, never heard anything above 160 as from my knowledge that seemed to be the normal cuttoff with multiple companies, other than a couple carriers with 140 that is.

That sms160 cab just changes the character limit to 160 characters as some roms made for those carriers with 140 character limits, or some generic carrier roms have 140 as the default character limit also.

I could have sworn it was the carrier's servers that limited it to 160 as they end up splitting up the texts as needed, not your phone.
But I very well could be wrong, as that is just what I have read a few places on the net.
