I waz wondering if there was a way too send longer text messages on one page!!!! When sending a text and the counter goes pass 160 it says 2 pages at 161 on the counter. I have TP2 With stock Rom ON US Cellular.

...no

Know why you can't write a book and send it to someone via text message? Because there is a character limitation for texts. That limit is 160 characters. Try writing your friend an e-mail instead.

Well maybe if you stopped using exclamation points, you would have enough characters to do so. (KIDDING )

Anyway, there is a thread about increasing the MMS size limit. Maybe check that thread out and see if a similar possibility exists for SMS? One question you should clarify is:

Do you mean you want your incoming texts shown as one long message, or your outgoing texts shown as one message (even if it's longer than 160 characters). Because regardless, your outgoing texts will still be seen as two texts by your other party. I assume you mean you'd like to see it as kind of like an IM view, where its each message sent/received; rather than broken up by character limit? If so, that would be a nice request.

"SMS" stand for "short message service." The way it works imposes a length limit. It's not the same as email. When you want to send a long message, use email.

Read up on it. Wikipedia is a place to start.

Use the text in the pic mail. That's what I use when sending a long text. I'm pretty sure there's not a limit when doing it that way

I was wondering if someone could post how to edit the registry for the text sizes and to edit the servers! And if this ( JD Arcsoft 5[1].2.1.22zip )could change the text size for send and receive sizes. Thanks in advance
