I have an LG VX8100 and I use Verizon. Whenever I send text messages, it counts the amount of characters in the message. Apparently the limit is 160 characters. What happens if I go over this limit? Does the message get cut off? Specifically, I want to know what happens when I text a non-Verizon user. I don't want my msg to chopped up or anything.

One of two things will happen. Either you will be prohibited of inputting more text, or it will be sent in two seperate messages. Since I have Nextel (500 character limit) and haven't used Verizon for 2 years, I am not positive what they do, but its either of the two I mentioned.

I got the multiple message thing on my Razr - at 160 characters. It must be a network thing.

What happens when you send a multiple part message. I presume you get billed multiple times? Does the recipent get multiple messages or are they tied together for them?

You will most likely get charged for two messages and the recipient varies. If they have Nextel, for example, text limit is 500 so they will get one full message. If it is another Verizon customer, they will get two seperate messages and get charged for both.

I've got an LG phone with Verizon service, and I've got the 160 limit too. But, what I do is enter an emoticon as the 160'th character, and for some reason, the count restarts! :rofl:

Weird :blink:

Did you try doing that more than once to see if it permanently works?

    • Anthropic trained its models on copyrighted books, US judge says it's fair use

      But a human composed and chose the shot and took the picture. That's how the law sees it. Fortunately, this is the copyright office's determination based on judges' rulings, so that's a win for we human beings...for now.
    • Sifu developer's new soccer game Rematch scores one million copies sold on launch weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Sifu developer's new soccer game Rematch scores one million copies sold on launch weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The development team behind fighting games like Sifu and Absolver, Sloclap, stepped into the competitive multiplayer arena last week with Rematch, a soccer/football game. The multiplatform sports title immediately boosted to almost 100,000 players on Steam alone. The studio has now revealed that over a million copies of Rematch have already been sold while also sharing some fun stats from the ongoing matches between players. Since its launch on June 19, over 11.78 million matches have been played in the title, resulting in 55.58 million goals, 33.54 million assists, and 69.12 million goalkeeper saves. The one-million sales milestone is also impressive, considering Rematch, a $29.99 premium title, is also available on the Microsoft subscription platform Game Pass. Both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass services received the title on the day of release for no extra cost. The studio confirmed today that Rematch has already reached 2.5 million players, including all subscription holders. The launch was not exactly smooth, however. While originally promised for launch, crossplay between platforms was ultimately missing. The studio said that implementing the highly requested feature is now its highest priority among bug fixes and server management. Multiple hotfixes also landed over the weekend to fix numerous matchmaking issues, desyncs, and crashes. Steam user reviews are slowly recovering following the hotfixes, with it currently touting a 78% Mostly Positive rating by players. In future updates, the studio plans to implement AI bots for training, spectating games, social elements for easily making squads, a tournament system with clubs, and major gameplay tweaks with a separate public test server. Rematch is now available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 platforms as well as on Game Pass.

      This is pretty nice. For one more year at least I don't have to install linux on my moms laptop and configure it so she understands it enough to sometimes read news online.

      Just the settings need to be synced it seems, really doesn't matter much.
