OK... so I know we're all sick of the 160 character SMS testing limit in Blackberry devices... well I offer hope my friends...
Twice in the last week my Storm has let me send SMs text messages with over 160 characters!

When this happened it would show the characters followed by the page number... i.e. 160 1/6.... Just like on regular Verizon devices...
Well, I know none of you will believe me... so here's pics...





This happened both times when I simply hit Reply to a text message sent to me... any ideas? I could NOT reproduce it both times it has happened...
Happened on .65 and now .75 software.... weird stuff!

And thanks to my bud Don for hosting the pics
And yes... I know the pics suck ***! haha]

Cheers

i tested this and did not get the same screen, just field full

[hbzant22]

i think that this will eventually come out because i posted about it like 2 months ago when looking at the video on the blackberry website. if you look closely, you see you get the same lettering at the top. (betweeen 12 and 20 seconds on the video if anyone wants to look)

[britishturbo]

I normally get field full too... But twice I've had this happen...

same here worked once for me hopefully the offer a fix or a hack for this soon haha

[britishturbo]

It has to be in the software but disabled... No way something like that is a glitch...

I would absolutely love this feature! Keeping my fingers crossed!

[vslice]

This feature would be awesome...I just try it and got field full...that's probably the only glitch I would like to actually happen

seems like a lot of stuff about this os is glitchy

[britishturbo]

Yeah I have no idea what caused it to happen... because when i went back to the same message to try again... it just did the normal 160 limit...
Very odd... lol

[S3th13]

Well this is encouraging. Atleast we know theres some sort of threaded text messaging implemented. Maybe they're just having a few problems with them being sent together... who knows.

What radio mode are you in? Multipage SMS is usually a GSM capability. However, some Verizon phones do this. Most notably, the XV6800 can do multipage SMS out of the box. Wondering if the SMS limit changes depending what radio mode you're in... who knows.

[sarfrazfamily]

wow that would be cool!

[secretsexyninja]

la;dakf;laskd i wish i knew how to develop for BBs. haha

[ghosthound]

that would be awesome... i hate the 160 limit

[notsoshortesk]

My KRZR can do this...I hope the Storm will be able to soon, too.

[howardb]

I was able to do this on my XV6700 and really kinda missed it when texting today... Hope this is another sign of things to come... First news that VZW may be allowing us to use our GPS and now this! This would be good news!

Now to get google maps to support the GPS.

I've used mms messages to send longer text messages on my curve(T-mobile). Anyone know what the max numbers of characters for mms is on the storm?

[anon(39569)]

I believe it is 1,000 characters.

[britishturbo]

Yeah MMS is 1000 limit...

And I was operating on normal mode Civic...
And every LG Verizon phone I've had let you do the same thing...
You know the Storm can recieve multiple thread SMS texts too already... so it def has everything in place... and this "bug" confirms that... lol

Next time it happens I'll try and figure out why... lol

[dabusabus1]

I believe it is 1,000 characters.

Thanks...u guys have the answer to everything on here.

[rynechaloux]

someday the world would be so perfect as to allow such a thing as this...

[britishturbo]

Ah yes... the quest for perfection... but you know they already made the perfect phone... it's called the iphone...

The only way i got it to say that was going into the mobile network and changing the network technology from 1xev to gsm/utms but it will be no network for it just says SOS on the corner
