MONKEYmark Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 i have a sony erricson p910i used to be on orange now on O2 and virgin sim cards. both do 160 character limit then it says how many messages it goes into. i stick to 160 and chop words down if its slightly too long. splitting messages over a few texts is crap as sometimes they geto other side out of order. i use the O2 sim cards payg as they have 300 free texts and 300 wap mins.

AntD Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Ro,I just checked my settings.It seems you may have changed your Character set in your messaging accounts to UCS2,whatever that means lol instead of 7bit.I just did it to check and I could only use 70 characters per message.

Jake Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 You didn't have it set to allow Chinese did you, Ro? From : http://www.mobiledia.com/reviews/sonyericsson/p910/page3.html With SMS (Short Message Service), users can send text messages containing up to 160 characters (70 characters for Chinese text). Concatenated SMS is possible by writing longer messages. The P910 will automatically send it using more than one SMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 No,havent had any probs yet.Only had it since April.I've had a P900 before,but I dropped it and its gone dead.I've still got it,but its probably gonna cost a fortune to fix as I cancelled the insurance on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 You didn't have it set to allow Chinese did you, Ro? PMSL! nope! i hadn't changed any settings or dropped it etc, in fact it was just sat on the table all day. the SIM update seems to have sorted it. Ant - got mine in November, keypad things doin my head in!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
