Have a question regarding text msgs

[csmerrick]

Hello all, this is my first ppc (HTC Touch Pro /w Alltel) and I'm having a slight problem and was wondering if any of you would have an answer.

Everytime I get a text message that has a joke in it or anything like that, it gets cut off by half. And when I send a txt msg to someone it sends two msgs if it's longer than a few words. On my old phone I would be able to receive very long msgs and would be able to see jokes that were forwarded pretty darn easily all in one msg.

Is there any way to correct this?
