Does this happen to anyone?
When I do a group text (mms) to FOUR people, the text is sent fine. Thereafter, when the recepients respond to the group text, it comes back to me as it was sent to FIVE people.
So when I respond to the second text, it goes out to FIVE people. And I get a receive my own text.
I just moved to WP7 to WP8. And this issue started after I switched about three days ago.
Very annoying problem. Any solution?

With the new lineup of full keyboard phone, texting 160 characters if pretty easy to do, especially when your friends don't like to talk on the phone and strictly text. Has anybody found a registry hack to allow more than 160 characters? For instance, the woman has sent numerous texts to me and she has AT&T as do i, and there has been messages she sends that are well over 500 characters on her Pantech and it allows it.
phones already do this
you can send larger txts but your carrier charges you one text per 160 characters.
or you could use email
I have unlimited text so it really doesn't matter to me how many text messages I have in a month. Anybody?

Just keep typing then - the messages get sent in 160 character blocks, and re-assembled into one big message by the recipient's phone.
Cheers,
Steve.
I guess what I'm asking is that when you go over 160 characters the phone splits the messages into two or however many messages. I've seen my woman type in messages that are well over 500 characters and when sent it shows up as one long message on her phone and on mine. Is there a way to increase the 160 character cut off so I can keep typing and send to other phones and they will see one long message? I'm sure shes getting charged for a couple message but the actually reading the message shows up as one long message.
Alright, thanks. Did not know that it does that so I end up erasing sentences and sending multiple messages. Sucks especially when you're fighting and trying to get a point across but now I know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif Well if you send your message n the form of an MMS then you'll have 1000 letters you can use. And if there's no media n the message then' you might b able to send a longer message!!!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Hope that's helps your problem.. That's how I send a long message so it doesn't get broken up n2 separate message's.
I think its built into threading

It happens when I text from my phone to anyone who has threading support for a windows mobile 6.1 phone
If you type above 160 characters in a regular SMS the person receiving it will get it as one message if they have a phone that supports it. If someone sends me a text with a Moto razr it will be split into 160 character messages instead of one long one
As Bajanman mms messages can hold more letters because it is data related unlike text messaging which rely on a back channel for cellular networks which costs the company 0 dollars to send as long as it is exactly 160 characters haha how ironic they charge us for something that was discovered to be free to the cell phone companies. Thank god for those unlimited texting plans that include the mms messages.
Whenever I send a text, or receive one, it will delete the last sent/received from that contact. For example:
I send Alex a text, it deletes the last message I sent to her
I receive a text from Alex, it deletes the last message I received from her
This keeps happening, and is becoming quite annoying now. I will only ever have one sent or received message in my inbox from a given contact at any given time, and I like to save my messages.
Any ideas without a hard reset/flash?
Thanks

Hmmm, strange have you unticked delete old messages in text options? Are your using standard text app or downloaded one?

In your messages go to options and check if "delete old messages" in active.
Hey, have had the Captivate for about 2 months now. Its been great so far, however I encountered a problem when I tried to send one text message to more than 10 people. The message:
Maximum Number of MMS recipients is 10
appears whenever I try to do this.
First off, I am not trying to send an MMS, it's just a regular text message. Second this seems like strange limitation for a smartphone(former Win Mo user here ).
Is there some work around for this? I purchased this phone for mainly business use and this is a feature I absolutely need to work. Thanks!
Try it with ChompSMS. I did not have the notification when i added more then 10 contacts. I never actually sent a mass sms so i dont know if it will work.
Hey all! I recently got my new Xperia tl from att. One thing I have yet to find is a message limit to convert SMS messages to mms messages. All of my other phones I've owned would either automatically change SMS messages to mms messages after say like 5 pages were written, or you could select the type of message. The reason why I ask is when a message is like 5 pages long the person in talking to usually gets 5 messages but they almost never come in the right order so its like trying To put a puzzle of messages together! Haha. So is there any way to set a limit to.change the message type after the text gets to certain length? Thanks all!
I think that a five message long could be divided with a few Full Stops. Or send a email, better I think for such a long message.

You could use a third party mms message app.
Now that you have asked your QUESTION and I have ANSWERED it, can you recognise which section this thread should have been posted in?
Thread moved. Please post all your questions here in Q&A in future.

I'm recently bought the new Note8 and went to send out my new number via text messaging. I selected multiple contacts thinking it would just send a message individually to each recipient but it did not. It instead started a full on group chat.
I've deleted it. Still won't stop receiving messages.
I've selected to remove recipients and there's no option to confirm or apply and when I back out after deselecting people, they still remain in the group chat.
Can someone help with this issue?
I've searched everything. Even ran a dark web search that led me to absolutely nothing.
