Multiple Page Text Message Problem - Motorola Q Forum

alkalinetony · 07-31-2007, 01:33 PM

It seems that I am not able to receive text messages containing more that 160 characters. I will receive the first half of the message and after 160 it cuts off and I get a message immediately after that says "Preceding message was modified to comply with this handset. Media objects were removed." If I send a message containing more than 160 characters, whoever I'm sending it to will receive it in two separate messages, just like I have with any phone I've ever had before the Q. Does anyone else have this same problem? I would assume it's just a setting that I can't find.

First you need to find out if this is just happening when receiving from one specific person, phone model, or carrier. Different phones handle multi page text messages differently, and (as far as I know) this is predetermined and cannot be changed via any setting I know of.

But once you find out what I mentioned above, you can take appropriate action by going to your provider

Mine does the same thing. If the person sends them as MMS, it will be longer.

Unfortunately, it does it for everyone.

I read in another forum that if you send it to yournumber@vzwpix.com, it will allow larger messages.

I always get them as more than one message. they come in message by message.

Yeah, I can get more then 1 message too. I have one friend that sends long texts and she has send me 3 pages before and they just come in as 3 different texts but I have no problems receiving them.
