I had the same thing going through my head and I agree. Plus I actually hate texting, so this is a way to slow down the woman from trying to text me all day long.

I believe communication should still be personal. If you need to tell someone something, do it in this order:

Face to Face
(if you can't, then)
Call them
(if you can't, then)
Email them
(if it's urgent, then go back to the top because your priorities and definitions are messed up in life)

You're not mounting the system correctly.

Code:

mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

is what I use in adb shell
Also, make sure you're doing this from the custom recovery with the toast root method

It's not a sprint limit, it's built into the android code.

Thanks Testacon for the suggestion of trying to other root. That's my next stop.

Just send all the texts from an email client, like go to yahoo.com and send the texts from your account. That limit is probably a Sprint limit, not a phone limit.

seems like google voice would be a good option for you, with that many texts/responses may be easier to handle that on a laptop/desktop anyways

I recommend this also. You can set it up to make it look like it's coming from your phone #. No one would know the difference.
