Does anyone know of a way that I can send text messages longer than 160 characters?

[anon(153966)]

Yes, keep typing! It will break the text down into multiple messages.

1. 160 characters
2. 145 characters
3. 160 characters

When the person receives it, it will look like this:

Text message received 1/3 (meaning 1 of 3), and then they'll get the next, and the next...

But, if you're doing over that amount, 160, why not just send an email? Rhetorical, of course...

#1 Answer... because the other person may not have a BB.

lol, yea verizon didnt lock that one, in fact verizon doesnt lock the length of SMS messages, its usually a phone restriction. my last phone (nokia) was able to send SMS up to about 500 i believe, but alas the 8830 will top out at 160, perhaps in order to persuade you to use email instead =p
