sending large character-number texts
|
In response to the question earlier about sending a text with 140 or > characters, I tested this a few times, sending some texts to my wife's iPhone 3g and my mother-in-law's iPhone 3g. I sent a text with so many characters that mySMS, iRealSMS, and biteSMS all indicated would be 3 separate texts. What actually happened: it sent it as 3 separate texts, but when opened up on iPhone in any of the afore mentioned programs, was displayed as only one single text. I also repeated this procedure with "2-text" length single texts and more "3-text" length single texts. Although it seems to send them as 2 or 3 individual texts, because they were sent subsequently, without composing a new text, it recomposes them as a single text on the receiving iphone. I'm not sure if the default SMS program responds this way or not, as I have not tested it. Hope this helps.
By the way, I kind of favor biteSMS because: it's free, landscape mode is great, I can skin it, and, so far, it loads the fastest, and it is so similar to the default SMS app, my wife and her mom have absolutely ZERO trouble working it (they love the landscape mode!).
