Same thing happens everytime this person sends me a text that is over 160 characters.

I've NEVER had this issue, but for the most part I use Google Voice...

I'll try to get someone to send me a long text to my regular number... I have a feeling this is a carrier issue (or at least a carrier-specific issue).

Looks like VZW is effected, anyone else?

I've never had this happen though I don't get many super long texts, but I do every now and then. I am on sprint with no google voice.

It wouldn't make sense to turn a SMS into a MMS IMO because then only certain phones would be able to receive it. To my understanding, SMS is one the same band as voice and MMS is strictly data. Though this is a rather odd phenomenon.
