incoming text messages

I have run into this same problem. I have also searched and tested, but what I came up with is this. My girlfriend has the Verizon LG env and when she sends me a txt that is over 160 characters she gets "Message delivered to ***Phone #*** as plain text. Destination does not support enhanced messaging service.". But a friend of mine who has a ppc on sprint can send me a book. So for some reason a non "ppc" phone cant send a ppc phone more than 160 characters for some unknown reason. I have also called verizon and they said its not my phone its hers. Which i dont buy at all, its something to do with the way the network or phone handle's EMS(Enhanced Message Service) text messages. Or maybe im wrong? which very well could be possible lol!
