SMS Character Length Not Showing
I upgraded from the 9000 to the 9900.
On the 9000 it would show the length of a text showing me the characters remaining. On the 9900 there is no indication. I can only see something if I copy and paste into the SMS program then it will show the length, but only temporarily, if I delete some characters or type it disappears again.
It certainly is not as useful on the 9000.
While it doesn't matter while at home, when abroad I do need to know how long the messages are so I don't pay for two when a few characters over.
I'm running 353.

Same here running .353
However the number of characters do show up when you have 15 characters remaining in text #1, and this counts down to zero, then counts down again from 145 in text #2... which is quite handy.

If you add a signature, you will also have your character count show up in your SMS message.

I may be wrong but I think this version of sms will let you go on forever and just send it in multiple messages. #1, #2 etc.

As Phil says, it will show up when you get close to the end of a text.
