There's an app that let's you have more than 160 characters but I don't want to spend the money on it

Yeah, it's called beyond 160. It seems like a cool app,but it's priced a bit high IMO.

So why not send an moms instead of sms? Its the same thing and it actually let's you do multiple pages. OP, are you surr you weren't responding to an mms txt?

We def need a hack for that cause regular cell phones go over 160 they just send two messages!

my old xv6700 from VZW allowed more then 160 characters...not sure why VZW doesnt allow that on their BB's. Would be nice to be able to type more especially since its to friends that dont have BB's.

Sorry, I'm just a little sour at those who haven't given the Storm a chance and are nit-picking over every little "problem".

I'm just saying that in RIM country, email takes precedence over SMS.

Actually the phone is my priority, it's just nice that I am able to get my email too

This is not a VZW limitation. It is a RIM limitation on CDMA devices. Alltel, Sprint, and every other CDMA carrier is subjected to this limitation. (Yes i know that the storm, 8830WE, and now tour you can switch over to GSM and the the 1/6, however upon switching back the phone will shorten the message prior to sending back to 160 characters.)
