Text message limitations

[dadof4]

It seems that Cricket has a limitation on the number of characters allowed in a text message. Anything over 150 and the message wont send. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to change it.

thanks

Go to MESSAGES>MENU>SETTINGS.When I ran stock 2.1.1 w/CRICKET,my SMS texts over 150 characters automatically converted the SMS to MMS & never had any problem sending or receiving SMS or MMS.I'm currently running CM7 & can't remember if stock 2.1.1 had settings to control this.I never touched the MESSAGING SETTINGS since it always worked for me.

Ive looked all over the settings and cant find any way to fix this. If someone else knows please let me know.

thanks

If you are indeed on ICARUS 1.0,you will probably want to do yourself a favor & install ICARUS 1.1 Everything works on 1.1

I can't remember if the stock messaging app in Icarus has an option to split sms messages over 150 characters or not. You might want to try a different messaging app. I used Handcent and tried GoSMS when I was on Icarus. Now that I'm on CM7 (everything works) there is an option in the stock app to split and number the messages. I accidentaly sent one of my best friends 9 messages (I forgot to lock the screen before I put it in my pocket) that the first 8 were blank.

It happens when I use handcent or the stock messageing feature. Any text over 150 will not send. I am also getting messages from cricket on some texts i send. I will get a reply that "cricket is not participating in this event" what in the world does that mean.?
