Text message limitations

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

v1.1:

- SINGLE BUILD THAT CONTAINS BOTH CARRIERS INFO

- Since autorun.iso was moved to /system, it saved 12 megs of space. Yay.
- Increased Dalvik heap to 32m
- Added speed tweaks to build.prop (thanks to Killabyte)
- Reverting back to DroidSans font (Ubuntu fonts caused [] characters, I found a set that supposedly doesn't have issues. Maybe next version.
- Revert back to stable-ish version of DT's apps2sd, hopefully clear up some apps2sd issues
- Themed Huawei's shitty messaging app (thanks to Joenathan for the legwork)
- Fixed aspects of the Minimal_Green theme port. It's about 95% ported (thanks again to Joe)
- Added Flash lite 4. Haven't used it extensively, but it seems like it works.

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.?
