Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / October 2006Long SMS's
This question has always been bugging me.... Mate just sent me one of them SMS jokes (you know the ones....there were 3 guys in a pub etc) and its quite a long txt. Wanted to forward it to someone, and it says on my N80 that it will send it in 3 txt's ? but how come when he sent it me its in 1..... Are nokia's just crap ? cos ive never been able to send long txt's S  Signature- Shaun Okeefe Undernet User-Committee Webmasters / Promotions simba@user-com.undernet.org > Are nokia's just crap ? cos ive never been able to send long txt's Nokia's aren't crap but the N80 is. It's just informing you that it will use up 3 text messages i.e. 10p x 3 = 30p. or 3 of your inclusive text messages. The phone you're sending it to has to support extended text messages to put all 3 together, the N80 supports extended text messages. Otherwise they'll recieve 3 seperately and at the top it will say text message 1 of 3... and so on. > This question has always been bugging me.... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Are nokia's just crap ? cos ive never been able to send long txt's : | !!!! You didn't receive it in one go, it was sent in 3 parts, your mobile notifies you about the first part, then silently compiles all 3 parts together as they're received. david_r@ntlworld.com declared for all the world to hear... > You didn't receive it in one go, it was sent in 3 parts, your mobile > notifies you about the first part, then silently compiles all 3 parts > together as they're received.

Mind the time when some networks took agesssss to send the 2nd or 3rd part? david_r@ntlworld.com declared for all the world to hear... > > david_r@ntlworld.com declared for all the world to hear... > >> You didn't receive it in one go, it was sent in 3 parts, your mobile [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Mind the time when some networks took agesssss to send the 2nd or 3rd part? Could be if the phone has decided that the last part isn't going to arrive and gives up waiting?

The impatient bunnet that it was, Nokia 3330. With an 'excellent' *cough* WAP interface. 2 lines of text, woohoo. it auto splits and joins. it will work for you. a sms is 160 letters long a long message divides into that. > This question has always been bugging me.... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > S > Are nokia's just crap ? cos ive never been able to send long txt's Far from it! The way it handles long sms's are perfect. You also don't get 2 parts. then the 3rd part about half an hour later! It waits for all the parts, then show's you the complete message. The characters remaining and sms's so far used counter, is exactly how it should be! I like the fact that you can keep writing and writing! What is the limit? I think I've got up to 5 sms.... >> Are nokia's just crap ? cos ive never been able to send long txt's > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >What is the limit? I think I've got up to 5 sms.... From an old version of GSM 03.40: 'The maximum length of an uncompressed concatenated short message is 39015 (255 * 153) default alphabet characters...'. Doesn't mean your handset will support it, though! > > Are nokia's just crap ? cos ive never been able to send long txt's > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > What is the limit? I think I've got up to 5 sms.... Yep, most phones will seem to concatenate 3 SMS together quite easily, although I've had the odd one received that is displayed as 2 messages, with the "cut-off" being about 60% of the way through. I guess this is a 5-long one being received as 3 and 2. Regards Jon.

It was sent to your phone as 3, but the phone joins the three pieces together without telling you. SignatureRegards Jon Cool ! thanks I never knew how that worked, and never dared to send messages over the limit in case the 1st part came after the 2nd lol. Thanks so much once again :-) S Signature- Shaun Okeefe Undernet User-Committee Webmasters / Promotions simba@user-com.undernet.org > simba@actcom.co.il declared for all the world to hear... >> This question has always been bugging me....
