    How do you send a sms message longer then 160 char. It makes me compose a new message instead of just allowing me keep typing...

    However is an mms message still counted as a "text message" on your plan? or is it under another category? Does it depend on your arrier and/or your plan? If so, does anyone know about Rogers? I prefer mms for the unlimited characters but I don't wanna be paying more.

    160 characters per message part is the limitation of the SMS technology not the phone. You have to use a different technology to accomplish your goals.

    Actually it is a limitation of both. Yes SMS messages can only 160 or 140 characters depending on your carrier. Blackberry's for some reason don't let you carry anything over that limitation into a new text message, instead you have to send your current message and then start a new one. My girlfriend has an lg shine and we are both with telus and her phone will let her carry anything over 140 to a new message without having to send her current message. Really annoying since hers is a really basic phone.

    This has become quite a pain too to only be able to type 160 char.

    Its not a Verizon thing because I had an env2 and it let me keep typing and just sent the message as split messages. Its a Blackberry+Verizon thing.
