verizon now splits up multiple text messages

[potatolover1102]

So I think that the OP was sending to another vzw. They might have changed the message for that. My friend is on AT&T with the Iphone (Shame) and i text her today and got the normal over 160 is sent as plain text with no graphics and only the first 160 is sent. So lame IMHO!

I can confirm what the OP mentioned. Messages to ATT are now being split up.
Thanks!

Well that is typical that I get the shaft from Verizon on everything including OTA! I am still a huge fan but am getting a little annoying at certain things.

What OTA?

You are mistaken. Allow me to rectify... There has been no OTA since december, and anyone you have talked to that claims to have gotten one is lying to you.

Good day, sir.

No i mean the one in december lol. Believe me I am not trying to stir that pot! The last one I waited over a week after until like the 20th to just take the plunge and download the file for 2.0.1! Apparently though since i am in a half roaming area I will never get any changes like normal. Verizon said to wait another 4 months even though it has already been 6!

Be a friend and stop sending your Contacts more than 160 characters. That's what email is for! It's ok once-in-awhile, but it sounds like you do this a lot. There's simply no need.

But hey, if your friends don't mind . . . whatever.

my friends don't mind...and neither should you.

If im texting a friend back and forth they don't mind the length, they just want to hear what I'm saying haha

Anyone else who wants to call me an "idiot" or a "troll" needs to PM me their address so we can have a little discussion face-to-face. I'm not some little wuss who hides behind a keyboard.

Love your posts on Sweeter Home and all the Roms, but the (d)Roid Rage is getting the best of you.

I'm glad they are splitting up messages instead of just cutting them off. For those consistantly over 160, call or email me instead of making me pay for a higher txt message plan.

LOL @ Droid Rage. I was thinking the same thing. In fact, I believe I have gotten into it before with JoeMessenger on matters of trivial subjective drivel. Help spread the knowledge or don't spread anything at all friend.

I noticed this too and was elated. I tried blocking the number by going to My Verizon and entering the number to my block list. The bastard number's like..13 numbers long, or something like that. I'll live with it. I like the standard better than handcent and chomp and whatnot.

....texts over 160 characters long is just being annoying.

Annoying to you. Verizon doesn't think it's such a terrible or uncommon thing either, now do they ?

 

[Medic_in_SC]

im with Joe on this. if its THAT important of a message wouldnt a phone call be better? grow up

Wait wait wait.... are you saying that the Droid can do phone calls too? Holy crap! I had no idea there was a phone buried in there somewhere!

Yeah, it's late and I'm bored....

Thanks for the informative info OG.

Let this die already it's turned into a rant session.

I love how they finally split them messages up

Because they get to charge for more than one text if it goes over 160 characters, HELLO?! Of course Verizon like loooooooooong texts. If I were collecting the cash for messaging, I'd make the limit 100 characters!
