    Hi Tony & welcome to CB.

    I can receive long sms messages fine on 02 with no problems. when they arrive I get the first bit then there is a pause before the rest arrives. Can you send them ok?

    SMS messages are limited to 160 characters. This stands to reason, as SMS = short messenging service.

    Generally, when an individual sends another a text which is longer than 160 charcters, the text will simply arrive in two parts. This may be a network issue in your case.
