Hi all,
First Android phone and just switched to Verizon.
I was sending a text and it was over 160 characters. I sent it and got a message saying that if I am texting a non Verizon customer they will only get the first 160 characters...
WTF?! I've had an iPhone and a Blackberry on ATT and it would split the message up for me and send a couple if it was over 160. Is there no way to do this on the Droid? Do I seriously have to try and squeeze everything into 160 characters like I did when I had the RAZR?
Thanks
Ivan
EDIT:
Just got this message from Verizon. Apparently they have changed their ways!
