Guidelines for Legion of Doom Troops: 10. Test your armor's ability to
stop a minimum of one sword thrust or laser blast, and if it does not
give at least this much protection, respectfully inquire after
something better.

I don't know what the limitation is or was, but I just sent myself a
much-larger-than-SMS email using @.txt.att.net and on my iPhone it was split
into 8 separate SMS message. These were combined into one on the iPhone
(matter of fact I only got a single notification too: it just said 8
messages were received).
"Think" I like this better than Sprint, where anything past 128 characters
is truncated (and occasionally large emails are bounced back to sender). I
quoted think as I don't want to get hit with a huge number of SMS
messages--I don't have unlimited with at&t (at least not yet).
Also like that when I send an SMS to a Sprint phone, from my iPhone, if it's
more than 128 characters (I think that's what the limit is, I didn't
actually count) they too get split up into multiple messages. I would
imagine that this feature is done by at&t, not the iPhone.

It is done by the carrier. When the test finally arrived, I got
multiple alerts in close succession. If it were the phone-side
software, the message would have been truncated.

I just tried this with my friend who uses a Moto V551 (2G) w/3G SIM.
She rang back and said she received a single message with a single
alert. When she opened the longish message (893 chars), it showed 1of7,
2of7, 3of7, etc. all strung together in sequence and quite readable.
