Need a way to unlock the 160 text limit. Want all messages to be MMS

[OKors]

I'm really tired of long incoming and outgoing messages being split up into multiple messages. The only way for me to prevent this is to "attach" a photo or blank subject line to each outgoing message. This unlocks the character limit, turns the message into MMS and allows it to be sent unbroken.

Some phones do this by default, others do not. I've heard its a combination of the way your carrier handles the data and the way your phone handles messages. Of course your carrier will never admit that its a handy 'tweak' that allows them to charge you for each broken up message rather than one long one.

I'm running a old gb version of MIUI but recently switched to JBMIUI (switched back because I love the stability of the gb version)

To be more specific.
There appears to be a hard limit of 160 characters. Is there a way to everride this somehow? Software mod or app tweak? Go SMS pro still breaks up the messages.

Are you on 2G or 3G? Back in my Desire says on 2G it used to split my texts up.

Hi
Greeting,
According to my knowledge as we go typing the character limit increases from 160 to next(whatever it might be) and the single message gets converted into 2 message n so on but when you send those message they go packed together and the receiver get all the messages packed in one message(you will be charged for every message) . As the text increases the phone converts it into mms if your message size is about 1 kb ( I might b wrong about mms size never used it) ,
So basically you keep typing and the msg will get converted into mms. No need of subject (look my Attachment their is no subject but still its a.mms)

2. Even if you send multiple message packed in one msg it also depends on the receivers phone how to accept it if his multiple msg text limit is for eg. 1000 characters it will convert the renaming message into message no.2.

Its confusing if you havent understood I can make it simple

On CM 9+ there is no issue with long SMS. They appear as one long text. Converting them to mms in NZ would cost a fortune as SMS are essentially free but MMS cost.
