    I searched (although not that hard) is there a way to increase the size of the allotted amount for text messages? I tend to have to send multiple texts in oder to get my point across...

    Or I could learn to use the phone.

    SMS limit

    160 Text Messages Question, Yes I know...

    Verizon Texting Limit

    Type more than 1 SMS text at a time

    160 Text Character limit on Storm


    In short, BlackBerrys (or Blackberries) do not use Enhanced Message Service which is what some other phones use to split long messages into multiple SMS messages and send as if it were one SMS. We all wish they did, but at the moment, they don't.

    Some people have reported that their Storm has done this, but no one has been able to reproduce it consistently.

    If the other party you are texting can recieve mms messages you can type a really long message as an mms and it will send messages like 1000 characters or something. Try that good luck..

    That's what I always do.

    Just make sure MMS (picture / video) messages are covered by their messaging plan, because even though you don't put a picture in the message it still is an MMS message and on most if not all carriers they cost more than texts.

    Mms will give you 900 characters but why not just send an email. It is a blackberry

    Did anyone ever buy this app? They ask for my phone's PIN when going through the checkout.

    oops, I'm new and can't post a link. The app is from mobihand dot com and it's named "beyond 160"
