This was actually the one thing i liked on the iPhone 3g with AT&T (even though i really hated the phone is general).

I could type a very long sms (a f***ing book! lol) and it would allow me to send it. It would split the sms up accordingly and deliver it to the other party without a hitch.

I find it very hard to transition and get use to the texting on the Storm. Before you know it, I run out of space. The funny thing is that I have unlimited sms with my current verizon plan, whereas I had limited sms with AT&T. So, uh, yeah... I should be writing a book in an SMS now!

I kid, I kid... about the book that is

I'm not sure if this is more of a carrier feature or a software/phone feature, or maybe both?

Will we ever be able to text this way on the Storm?

Not right now, but maybe in a future software upgrade. Right now the only way to send a longer message is to send an MMS message or an email. But I'm with you on this one. My previous phone was a crappy LG and even that split my texts.

too bad but no. You could opt to send a mms instead of the restricted 160 char of sms.

This is a stupid question (no it truly is) what is the difference between MMS and SMS?

[jwp5123]

mms is for pictures/video and has to load on the other persons phone whereas the SMS comes instantly

thanks guys
i'm really looking forward to the day this is implemented

Good call on ditching the iphone, though.

On Vodafone UK I am allowed to create an sms up to a total of 6 (each 160 characture)
At the top of the screen it tells me I have created 1/6, 2/6 etc

Yep, my Vodafone storm definately lets me do it, maybe it's a verizon thing.

it probably is a verizon thing because i know when i had my 8320/8820/8220 on t-moble it automatically broke the SMS's up into separates and and sent them automatically.

It use to work for me when I had .65/.75. I could send SMS's longer than the char limit(160??) and it would split as a diff message. I like that feature but now on leaked .83 and doesnt work no more. I could still receieve MMS videos and pictures though

wow u're lucky that it would do that for u on .65/.75. im running .75 right now and my SMS dont get split up, it just stops me at 160. What i do is just use a MMS when i know i have to text a long text message. so far its worked, but I wish the storm would split up the texts.
