If you send a Long SMS to a standard mobile without that feature does it get split into multiple messages?
And also do you get charged once for sending or more then once depending on the length of the message?

Sometimes though, I receive them with txt missing and it takes a while for the 2nd part to come through. It sometimes happens when I send them to people aswell.
But if you sent a long message that was 6 messages long would you get charged once or 6 times?
say you message charge was 10p, you would get charged 60p
:yes:
yep, with my phone while it's sending the messages it says 'sending message 1 of 6' then 'sending message 2 of 6' etc.
When you send a text, if it's more than the length of a standard SMS you are charged for each additional text. Which caused a lot of people tob get huge phone bills when the NOkia 3310 was first introduced.
I find that if I turn my phone off, then when I switch it on it comes through.
I might try that...
I usually get it when the person sends me another message :rolleyes:
yeh that happens to me sometimes. ah well.
Yup...I need a new phone anyway. Mine's way too slow for the speed of my text. I have to stop to wait for it to catch up
I hardly ever used SMS cos I hated typing on a phone, when I joined orange last year they gave me 6,000 free SMS message to use in my first 6 months I used about 50 most of those to tell people my new number
HOWEVER I now have a Bluetooth phone and have it connected to my Pc and can quickly type on a normal keyboard and it way handy, but now I only got 50 free SM'Ss per month
