Is there a way to enter a carriage return in a text message so that the next
character begins on a new line?

I don't know what phone you are using but text messages allow so many
characters on a line, so if you keep adding spaces until the cursor jumps
to the next line, that should do it.

Re: carriage return in a text message
two problems with this solution.
a) it takes forever to keep hitting spaces
b) each space is one less character I type - max 160
thanks any way

My Nokia 6340i includes a hard carriage return (icon is the bent arrow
like on the enter key of a keyboard) as one of the symbols you can
insert by pressing * when entering the message body. I just tested it
and it works, both to a sms number and to an email address. First time
I've ever used it in all the hundreds of sms messages I've sent over the
years :-)

I just tried it on my Moto V3. If I press the * quickly it adds a space and
if I hold it down it goes to the next line immediately.
Thanks.

Re: carriage return in a text message
Holding down the asterisk "*" key also works on the V551.
