Ive read around and herd it was possible but havnt seen anyone post this up -

Is there a way to be able to text more than 160 letters in just one text...its annoying if anyone hasnt noticed ?? Only being able to text to a certain piont and then having to continue in another texxxt blows...lol..

Thanks in Advance'

I don't think so. The 160 character limit is part of the SMS standard, not of Windows or your Treo. See http://communication.howstuffworks.com/sms.htm for more info.

The maximum number of characters is 160. That's it. Some phones, like most Windows Mobile ones (Treos, Apache's & the like) have a text program that will automatically split up the messages for you. But again, the max number of characters in each message will be 160.

Ya but I think he his treo to split up the messages, because coming from the apache i hate how the treo stops at 160, and you have to send it, then send another one. It would be so much better if it would do it automatically.

I'm using a treo 700wx and with the SMS hack, I'm able to send as many characters as I want and it will automatically split the message for me.
