I can't give any promises this seem edit will work on your phone being it is Sprint but it may be worth a shot. It does work on the standard Moto user interface that I do know. also keep in mind some carrieres do not accept more then 160 characters. So even sending one bigger then 160 will send multiple pages so they get the entire txt and this does count as more then 1 txt msg. Each page is considered a txt msg as an FYI. The thing is make a backup of the original seem before making any changes just in case it does cause any issues being you have the Sprint phone with there custom interface. Then you can just put the original seem back on the phone to correct the problem.

Here is the seeem info

seem 2742, record 1, bytes 0000
Offset 0045, bit 7 - on, Changes SMS count from 140 to 450

thanks anyway. Sad strangely enough. bit 7 is already checked/on hmmm?

btw i have unlimited txt so im not worried about making it 2. the way i get around it now is by sending the first page and then starting another. just trying to find away to avoid this. thanks for you help.

anyone else got any ideas?

I would think that since this seem was already done when you checked it, then there probably isn't much more you can do with the carrier that you are using. As pyde said, it was kind of a long shot. Sprint's service and f/w seems to be quite different in so much as the things the rest of us are able to do on other CDMA carriers and f/w's.

There is another seem, but as I mentioned, your carrier and f/w probably wouldn't support that either.

I can't say for sure being I don't have Sprint, but if you have a long msg just send it as a MMS with no media. Like on VZW you get way more characters to use when using a MMS msg.
