60 characters/sms?

[Guest rsca]

hey guys,

i've just received my sda music, which is btw a great phone!

the probmlem is, that when i'm sending a sms with more than 60 letters, it devides the message in two or more messages.

Can't i set somewhere the real lenght of a sms, which is 160?

thanks.

you are using unicode (2 bytes characters) instead of ASCII (1 byte characters)

And where do i change this?

Go into Messaging, Text Messages, press Menu, Options, Sending and put a tick in the 'Use Unicode etc' box.

Put a tick in, or uncheck the unicode box??? :?:

[Guest Disco Stu]

Got a tick in my box :D

[Guest TigerNet]

...hmmm...had a tick in mine on the mpx220 but have the limited characters issue...

...confused...

Re-reading conflagrare's post, your interpretation is the correct one.

What is the exact wording for the option on the MPx220 ?

On the C500 it is "Use Unicode when necessary" so even if I have a tick in there it doesn't mean that the phone is using it.

Anyway, rsca got his texting sorted :?:
