A broken up txt is only hard to read on non smartphones since they have much smaller screens, and have to click to open each one individually.

I also never have a problem with this since I just call the person....I mean why spend 30 minutes texting 10 pages of information when you can call them and tell them the same information in 15 seconds? lol. I never understood why people would send paragraphs and pages of text messages, when they could just press send to call the person and be done with it in 10% of the time. Plus, texting is so impersonal...I think if you get the the point where you are typing that much in a txt message you should just get a data package and send an email.

1. My phone's too smart from her; that's pretty much straight from her mouth.

2. I like being able to do things and not be tied to the phone. With texting, I can say something and get an answer and read and reply when I get the chance. With phone calls, I can't concentrate properly on what I'm doing. In my case, I'm usually doing something computer related, where concentration's extremely important.

Link, I know what you are talking about. With Text messages, globally, the limit is 160 characters.
Now, If you are texting someone(*with a dumbphone) with Verizon, and your message goes over the limit, they will receive it all together, because it is the same network. If you are texting someone that doesn't have Verizon, they will either receive your message in parts, or only the first 160 characters.

The reason that you have been allowed to send text's with a 1000 maximum limit is because at that point the text is sent as a picture message, where the message has a limit of, I believe, 399kb.

I haven't tested this, but I think your problem can be fixed by typing your message in a picture message, and don't attach anything.

But other than that, I have no Idea why Windows Mobile devices do the "Media Objects Removed" thing.

Good luck with this.


EDIT: Here is my theory on this issue:


TO:----------From:---------Protocall

WINMO----- "Verizon OS"--- Splits Text
WINMO------ WINMO--------Stays as one Text
"Verizon OS"--"Verizon OS"---Stays as one Text

...and so forth...
