SMS problem in P800

same here with the 7650 :-?

i guess that is because when the phone forward the message it includes the name and number of the person who originally sent the message (like hotmail does in forwards) so this increase the message size. i recommend that after u press forward you delete this part and send the message body only, it should work

nawara I already tried this but still it didn't work
I reduced the size of the message to 71 characters and it would again send it as 2 messages.
this is really annoying :evil:

Ok, if you can reduce the character number to 70 it will sent in one message.
Do this by deleting not so important parts of the message like ! or ? and so on...

Now how to make the phone send a message which has more than 70 characters in one SMS, still don't know

That depends on the phone u r sending to, if it accept long messages, and depends on your network.

You received message in Unicode format.

See the table:
[code:1] | bit/char | max char in a message
SMS 7-bit | 7 | 160
SMS 8-bit | 8 | 140
Unicode | 16 | 70[/code:1]

The unicode char-set use 2 bytes to map the chars, cause it add support for arabic and other languages... And the payload of a single SMS is just 140 bytes.

Yep .. unicode characters are limited to 70 .. like arabic

I checked my SMS setting in my phone and it was set at 7-bit.

Why am I still limited to 70 characters.

Control Panel > Connections > Messaging Acounts > SMS > Then check character set (7 bit or UCS2) ??

[quote="Link"]I don't know if others have this problem, but when forward an SMS message that I recieved. My phone sends it in 2 parts (2 SMS messages) even though I recieved the same message in one SMS.

Any ideas? :-?[/quote]

I think you've received a 16-bit message, so when you go to forward...
It may be also a fw bug.

Gino

That is true. I checked it, you see when I send a new message I can place more than 70 characters; but when I forward a message from someone else I can't since their SMS setting is probably set at 16-bit.

Kinda makes more sense now... 8)
