Hi all, why is that when I type a medium long sms that my SE900 must split it into 2 messages 2 send?

My old Nokia 3315 could easily store up to 400characters (I think) and send it on one sms.

The SE900 seems to have trouble with anything over 200. Huh????

Can I change this some where?

As far as I know a single sms can't be longer than 160 char.

but on my Z600 it will only give you a 'warning' that it's going into 2nd/3rd/etc sms... it won't break it down or disallow you from continuing to write. It just advises as the telco will charge for 2 (or 3 or 4) txts instead of one

I would think the same goes for P900 (perhaps you need to enable 'long messages' somewhere?)

He must have it enabled. He must be wondering over the warning'sms 2' . For every 160 You'll be charged for one message in every phone! This message was posted from a WAP device
