- Hello,
I just got the new BlackBerry Bold 9930. Everything works perfectly fine, however, everytime I send long sms texts, people get them split into several and each one is named 1/5, 2/5, and so on...
Has anyone in here experienced this problem? If so, what is the way to fix it? It's annoying for me, as I'm used to sending extended sms texts all the time, and for the people who get them, mostly as it's harder for them to read them, you know?
Thanks y'all for your help,

There's nothing wrong with your phone. Always remember that a SMS can only have up to 160 characters. Not all phones can support more than 160 characters that is why the message has been separated page by page. It also works the same with SMS charges, if a SMS charges you $0.25 for each, and you happen to send a messages that slighlty exceeded 160 characters, it will be considered as $0.50 for reaching the second page.

When I was using my Curve, Tour and older Bold, my long sms texts were sent as one long sms and not as 5 or 6 different little messages... The thing is this is a brand new phone, so obviously I feel frustrated to be sort of dowgraded in a way, you know? When I send those long messages to myself I get the sent message as one long one and the received message as several ones... So obviously there's something going on while it's sending them... Have you heard of an App of something that could bring them back together as one long message?
Thanks to all of you for answering by the way! I highly appreciate it!

Kindly go to your Text Messaging then press menu and go to options. Try looking for this option:
Your messages might have been saved on SIM instead of phone memory.

A.D.04-14-12 07:12 PMLike 0 - What about checking the "combine sequential messages box" under text options? Haven't tried it but noticed it under possible settings.04-14-12 07:15 PMLike 0
- The OP could try Threaded SMS app. I just tried it and I did not get the whole 160 1/7 figures. I just copy and pasted something until I got the pop up: field full.04-14-12 07:20 PMLike 0

- wrong. (simple as that)
see several replies above... an SMS is DEFINED as having up to 160 characters... whether the phone can handle multiple sequential SMS and combine them into one message has nothing to do with that.
Note that regardless of that feature, if you pay (say) $0.20 for an SMS and receive one single long message of 1599 characters you will be billed for 10 SMS messages.
