SMS Lenght!!!

Julio_Spinoza — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 01:10:24 GMT

Hi guys, when I am sending a SMS, after 45 or 50 characters, it says two messages, suddenly, 3 messages...do you know why? Before the ICS upgrade I used to send SMS 140 characters and it was only one SMS, and now I have to pay 3, thanks in advance!

it seems to be an operator/network issue, where special characters count as 2 or 3

So, it is not an ICS update? because where I live, there is not ICS yet. Mexico

I'm confused do you have ICS or you don't have ICS?

you could repair your phone with SUS or PCC and see if the issue it's gone

default sms app in GB 2.3.7 in Xperia S dont have gsm sms type or smth like that (not using special signs) saddly it was in ARC with 2.3.4 dont know how it look in ICS but it should be option in "language and keyboard"

the other way is to use sms app from market (go sms pro or handcent sms) and search in setteing to use regional type sms or smht like that

well, it seems that the problem is when I use words with "tilde", it takes like 6 or 7 extra spaces, maybe is for the regional configuration but I dont know how to change it.

In Spanish there are a lot of words with "tilde"and the keyboard puts them automatically, so I hope Sony will correct them, thanks all you guys
