Increasing Texting Limit
 

Argh I just switch from the 6700 (Sprint) to 700wx (Sprint) and I have lil complaints so far. The main thing I would like to fix is text messaging. On the 6700 you could type a text message over the 160 character limit and Outlook would just increase: 160, 320, 480, 640....and the text would be sent out in order to the receiver, in however many times you went over, so say I typed a text with 280 character, the recipient would recieve 2 text messages.

On the 700wx, it stops at 160 and its driving me crazy, because I am very long winded lol. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry if this has already been covered. I went back 6 pages and didn't really see anything that talked about this.

Have you tried the SMS hack that was previously posted here? That lets me send over the 160 limit.

that too was my biggest problem with the 700.... the hack is the only way to fix it.

Thanks!
 

Thanks for the info...do you mind directing to me that particular thread?

:D

:shock: thats a lot of reading lol. It also seems thats for threading sms messaging, which isn't something I'm ready to even try to hack my phone to do. I just want to increase my texting over the 160 character limit. Thanks for directing me though!!!

jayroc80, get the file, its just a .cab install it, and use it. it isnt hacking your phone really, its more like installing a new program. just get the file and read the first few posts, thats it.

believe me, it is worth it.

:( :| There seems to be a lot of bugs with the program, but I guess I can try it out and do a hard reset if I don't like it.

here is what you can do
backup your phone
install new sms
backup again

now you can go back and forth if you want to!!
