That an there is no indication of how long your text is. I used to be very careful to stick to 160char in a text, but now I have ample headroom and if it is a long text it gets sent regardless. -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs.

My wife went from a pay-as-you-go tariff to the iPhone, and interpreted the 600 minutes as "unlimited" (because who would get through ten hours of calls on a mobile after being used to watching every minute on PAYG?). She ended up with a similar-sized bill. -zoara- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

I find that a bit of a pain, as a friend of mine had an old phone that wouldn't recieve a multi-part text. Ie, not just not get the first part, just get a blank text. Luckily she has just broken her phone and got an iPhone, so I guess it is not a pain anymore! -- Woody www.alienrat.com |
