    Standard text messages are limited to 160 7-bit characters. That's the SMS standard. To get around this, some carriers implement extended SMS, which lets you send up to 6 160 char messages. Auto text has nothing to do with it. Implementation of extended SMS varies by carrier. The way long texts are received also depends on the carrier. I cannot send messages longer than 160 chars, but I can receive longer ones, broken into 160 char pieces.

    I am a big beliver. SMS stands for SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE. if you need to write a book, then send an email or call the person

    Just a personal opion.

    If you are going to shoot, please warn me first so I can duck
