Verizon, Texting more than 160 characters

I got my phone a couple months ago and noticed the blackberry doesnt let u txt more than 160 characters. however yesterday while on the subway, i hit reply to a sms txt message, and instead of saying 160 at the top. it said 124 of 1/6. and i kept txting and it let me text more than 1 page. i went to verizon and asked them about this and they said it must be a glitch, but i dont understand how its a glitch if it did it in the first place. and so im wondering if there is a way i can get it to txt more than 160 characters in a txt message.
thanks

The same thing has happened to me a couple of times. It gave me the option of 1/6 pages with 124 characters on each page. I've been meaning to go to the VZW store and ask about it but i guess they would just tell me the same as you. Have you heard/found anything else about it the matter? It won't even allow you to send more than 160 to another verizon carrier! I've never had that problem with any phone and i had a curve and i currently own a tour and both have done it in the period span of possessing them. Actually, i think the tour did it around the same date of your occurence. BB mess up? I have no clue. But, i really liked that concept. Why isn't it just an option. It's rather stupid. Either way i thought it was weird that we have had the same exact thing happen around the same time of the year but I also had it repeat the "glitch" a couple of times afterwards. There has to be a way to make that permanent. Or, at least, i hope.

More than 160 characters in each text message

I don't get why Verizon made the switch for every other phone to be able to text more than 160 characters, but not for blackberrys.....

BlackBerry Messenger has more than 160 characters. Unlimited, maybe??? On my BB, two or three texts in a row show all together like one text. Do yourself and others a favor and either learn some texting shorthand, or learn how to get to the point. long texts are very annoying. SMS stands for Short Messaging Service. I try to remember that when I text. In my personal experience, I say wat too much whenever I send long texts. And once its sent, there's no taking it back!

Texting more than 160

Maybe this has been answered but i cannot find it through search. When will BB support auto brakin up of sms texting longer than 160 characters. I have 6 smart phones in my family, all from different manufacturers plus another for my work and all of them will automatically send out any sms message longer than 160 characters as seperate texts with a 1 of 2, 2 of 2 listing. No annoying field is full message. I know beyond 160 can be purchased but this should be fixed already. Does version 5 OS resolve this? If so i will have to wait for sprint to get off thier butts and approve it for the BB curve. Thanks

Anyone who's texting more than 160 characters is either using a third-party app (such as is available in AppWorld) or is using BlackBerry Messenger. The 160 character limit is a carrier-imposed limitation which is pretty much industry-wide (the shorter the messages, the more messages need to be sent, the more money they make).
I'm not sure of any such apps by name, but if you go to AppWorld and search under IM & Social Networking>Instant Messaging, you should find some that will accomplish getting around the 160 character limit. I believe what they do is to split your long message into two smaller messages, but atleast it saves you from having to stop typing after 160 characters.

More than 255 characters in a table text field

Dear experts,
i am facing a problem (in WD Alv too) that i can not display more than 255 characters in a single text field.
I want to display a table containing a description field without a limitation of its length. As soon as providing a (formatted) string longer than 255 characters of length, no interactive form is shown on screen.
Debugging a while, the following error message occurs;
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception - PDF render operation exception, reason code: 0 : InvalidXDPException: Xml parsing error: reference to invalid character number (error code 14) ...
Does anybody have similar problems to mine?
Did anyone resolve the issue to show more than 255 characters in a table in interactive form?
Regards,
Florian Royer

How to send text file as an email attachment havin more than 255 characters

My requirement is to generate a text file and to send this text file as E-mail attachment. I am using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send the E-mail. but here the limitation is the number of characters per line must not be more than 255 characters whereas in my case it is exceeding 1000 characters per line. could anyone please suggest me what should i do now ? Each field in the text file has to be tab delimited.

Simplest might well be to use javamail API instead of the two tags that Sites provides, e.g. see email - Sending mail attachment using Java - Stack Overflow for a full example.

Why is my iPhone 4S breaking up SMS messages that are shorter than 160 characters?

With my iPhone 4S running 5.1, I'll tap out a message that reads on the character counter as less than 160 characters. When I press send, I hear the "sent message" swoosh sound happen twice, as it does when the phone splits a long message into multiple parts.
The recipient confirms that the message does get split into two parts even though its contents did not exceed 160 characters. Through some experimenting, I have determined that it happens with messages that exceed 120 characters. In cases of messages with lengths 120-160 characters, it cuts the last word off and sends it as a separate message.
Why is this happening?
(In addition, checking my Google Voice history also confirms that the messages get split up even though they do not exceed the character limit.)

I'm having the same exact issue. I've only noticed it since I upgraded to IOS 5.1. Unless the SMS message is very short, it gets broken into at least two separate messages when I hit send. I think this is happening even if the message I'm sending is less than 120 characters.
It doesn't bother me either, but like AmZam05 mentions, I feel bad for the recipient who is now getting mulitple SMS messages from me when they would get a single SMS message prior to me upgrading to IOS 5.1.
EDIT: Wanted to add that this is with a Sprint iPhone 4S w/ IOS 5.1. I've also found some forum threads elsewhere speaking of the same problem others are having. There seems to be a "workaround" for this by adding a few blank spaces at the end of your SMS text message, then sending it.

Displaying text more than 256 in ALV report

Hi experts,
                 I have problem while displaying text field in ALV report which has more than 256 characters.
I'm using CL_SALV_TABLE for displaying alv.while concatenating my internal table holding all the text.but at the time of displying the report it's only displaying 256 characters.
           Can anyone guide me how to display more than 256 characters in ALV output using CL_SALV_TABLE.

Hi,
Please find the below code.

How to display TEXT more than 500 char in a report as multiple lines.

Hi Friends,
i have a requirement like i should display Texts of length more than 500 Characters in a report( ALV LIST) as multiple lines
I am fetching the data Using FM READ_TEXT
the output im currently geeting with 150 Char in lenth as a single line
How we can split the text into multiple lines in a report
first i would like to know is it possible? if possible please give your valuable suggitions if not is there any alternative way to do this task.
Thanks & regards
kumar.

Hi,
This is possible but the Solution might not look Standard/Appropriate to you.
In ALV, you can have Multiple Line Output...There is a Field in the Field Catalogue..called as Row_position...this is by default 0...which means Single row/Line ALV output....You can have this Value in the Range of 0 to 3.......A ALV field with row_position 1, will be displayed in the second line for every record...i.e. you will have multiple line for a single record of ALV.
In your case......you can use this but you need to split your field in two fields.....but you may end up spliting a single word....but for that also you can design the logic of splitting the Fiel value at SPACE only......
This may work.......and Sorry if not work......

How to display more than 255 characters in a smartform.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

why the heck would you use read_text when you want to print a text/note on a form?
in SAP-Script we use the "INCLUDE"-Statement for this.
and in smartforms a Text-node of type 'I'.
you can not write all in one line and expect the system to handle this like a floating text.
one character takes a cretain amount of space (varying for different characters and font and font sizes).
you Page has a certain width, so where is the miracle in the thesis that on a sheet of paper with a certain width just a certain amount of characters will fit?

Inserting data with more than 255 characters in to MSACCESS through JDBC

I have developed a product using servlets,JDBC,HTML.The backend is MS access database.
I have to provide an option for the user to key in more than 255 characters of data in the textarea & then store it in the access database.But i read that access ODBC driver has a limit of 255 characters.Is this correct.
I tried changing the Datatype of the field from text to Memo field in MS ACCESS.But when i insert the data using setString method of the PreparedStatement ,it's giving the following SQL exception:SQLException caught:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]String data, right truncated (null)
How do i let an user key in more than 255 characters.Can somebody help me on this please ASAP as this is a very crucial issue which i need to solve by tomorrow.
Thanks in Advance

Unable to read more than 255 characters in a string data type.

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports version 11.5.8.826 to generate reports from databases such as MS-Excel & BaaN.
In Excel, there are records which carry string lengths of more than 255 characters. All though the fields are getting displayed in the report, the data being displayed gets truncated once it reaches a length of 255 characters.
Kindly provide me with a solution this problem.

Hello Manish,
I know that older versions of Crystal (Crystal 10 and older ) had a limitation of only 256 Characters for a string value. You should be able to use this code to get what you need.
We were successfully able to print out the Declaration of Independence through a Crystal report using something very similiar to this.
