I was texting yesterday and got to 0 characters left. Drat! Wait, let me try something. "Left shift, scroll up, menu button, copy" open an mms message "menu button, paste" viola! keep typing. This probably isn't a new trick but I thought it was pretty slick.

I am lazy, I like hitting just one button. Also, not everyone gets MMS messages and some people get charged differently for them.

Exactly. the $6 or whatever beyond160 costs, is more then worth it, with 1 or 2 years of convenience, or however long I keep my Tour.

I usually just sent one (160 SMS) out, then hit L on the one sent to quickly open a new sms message and continue on typing.

the new OS should support over 160 char.

It is an issue with CDMA, not the OS.

I got Beyond160 on sale, so it was 50% off. I love it though. That, combined with QuickText, has made texting way easier.

Also, you keep Beyond160 forever I think. I know I switched it from my Curve to my Tour.

or, click the trackball twice and open another SMS and keep typing...

I'll have to try those other two tips, thanks! And here I thought I was swindling "the man"

It's not new but I think ur awesome for figuring it out.

Sms over 160 characters is too much anyway,.

I kinda like having the 160 limit. Keeps from droning on forever via text, plus I get creative in thinking of ways to say all I want in just 160 characters.

Yep me too...

Short Messaging Service

SHORT

Anything over 160 char, I will email or call them.

I sent a text via MMS before but then realized that if the message is gonna be that deep then I might as well just call or email them.
