Why does the phone steal characters the longer the length of txt u type
compared to single txts of 160 characters. Its annoying. And to send singly
how do i let the recipient know the message is to be continued???

Re: sms length
I think the 'missing' characters are used to add bits of coding to say it's
a multi-part text (the bit that says 'linked (1/2)' on older phones.

Re: sms length
This is by design. The additional characters are needed to put the
message back together on the other end. Not sure about other carriers
but I've noticed that even when I send a multi-part SMS that T-Mobile
USA has only ever charged me for 1 SMS regardless of length. The wife
and I will regularly send calendar appts, contacts and long SMS that
are easily 3 SMS, but we've never been charged for more than one. Of
course that matters even less since we got unlimited SMS when they
offered it a while back.
