It has to do with how the phone treats the message. You are correct on the information as far as the number of characters left and the number of messages the phone will send. Just because the phone may tell you it will be in one message, doesn't mean it will be in one message on the persons phone who is receiving it. Example. I sent a message from AT&T to Sprint, it was about 120 characters in length. The sprint user received it as two messages. Just something to be aware of.

From: alex wallis <[email protected]> Date: 24/09/2010 7:43 AM Hi list. I am wondering, if someone can explain how to interpret the information given by the read input status command, that is talks and long press on key 2 A long time ago I was talking to neel about how to find out the number of characters written in a text message, and he said there wasn't a way. But then I accidentally found the command again I was thinking of. so my question is, I understand that when writing a text you might get something like 160: 1 upper case, if you do talks and long press on key 2 if you haven't written anything in the message. Obviously the upper case refers to the state of the input status, and I assume the 1 would mean that any text you wrote would be treated as 1 message, and not be treated as multiple messages by the phone operator, until you go over the 160 character limit.So, does the 160 mean the number of characters available before a phone operator would treat your text as a multi part message? I note that whenever I press a character, that figure of 160 always goes down by one or how ever many characters I put in. And if I go over 160 the figure goes back up, but the 1 changes to a figure of 2. Thanks for any help.
