Any one know if you can change the text message character length?
Most new phones have a maximum of 400 characters or something, my atom only allows 160 characters.

Is it not allowing you to write more than 160 characters?

Default is 160 characters per text message, looks like it cannot be altered (well anyway, I didn't see that option in SKTools).

But of course you should be able to send SMS way more than 160 characters.

Yeah I can like as long an SMS as I want but it's broken into 160 character parts to be sent. That's how SMS is done by carriers I think.

yeah if u type more than 160 characters it'll send as 2 messages and so on. But i can receive text messages longer than 160 as one message.

Standard SMS per message for any phone is 160 char.

O2 Atom Exec allows you to type more than 160...which means u are being bill more than 1 sms as long u write more than 160...

if say u type 200... the other party will receive 200...on the back-end of the telecom will take it as 2 sms...
