Sending text this is not a trick question

[Guest feckineejit]

Hello all i'm on o2 and seem to have a problem sending text, (not all) i can send short text, i wrote a text 110 words long (about 3 or 4 text) (not 110 letters) but it will not send at all, just sits there with the envelope with the red clock thing around it, anyone else have this problem or know how to sort it?

Could someone on o2 try sending a text, a big text about 4 or 5 long to themselves just to see if it's only me with this problem or if its specific to o2? i swear i'll not say your sad texting yourself :P

It may be changing to MMS mid message because of the size of it. Can you send MMSs?

Can I ask whether you have restore sms on to the phone at all?

I had a problem sending sms after restoring my sms. After a full data wipe, I could send the sms no prob, after restoring, I had problems. Appears the problem was the way it was being restored...

Also, I've sent sms with an sms count of 3 no problem to friends on Vodafone and Orange... So should work fine...

[Edit]

After checking, if you start to do a sms which has a count of 4 sms, then it converts it to an mms message straight away... So, as mELIANTE says, can you send mms ok? Just sent a mms of just text which is equivalent of 4 sms, and it received just fine...

(also, OT, anyone noticed that the quick edit doesn't seem to work properly, or is it just me?!)

Yes it seems to be changing to mms, is there a way to stop this? I can send mms but would rather use the free texts i have to send it, as o2 charge for mms messages.

No i dont have restore to sms

Edit

also i'd like to know how you tell when you have wrote 3 or 4 texts as there is no indication of how many letters you have left? hope you know what i mean

Use Handcent and you can stop the mms conversion, just go to the preferences and uncheck the option that says that.

With that you can also check the number of characters left and messages already used with the current text message..

Cheers The-One, thats done the trick, just one last thing for now :P when i get sent a text i now get 2 notifications, one from handcent and one from the phones own messaging system. is there a way to stop the phones message notification and just use the handcent one?

EDIT
