Long SMS issue

Question

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy and I have a problem with SMS: when I write relatively long messages, they are automatically converted to MMS, which costs me a lot more to send.....
Is there a way to prevent this conversion and have them sent just as multiple SMS?

Thank you

You can change that by downloading the Handcent SMS app. Just change the app settings and your messages will no longer be in MMS beyond 3 SMS ;).  PS: the app is free

I don't know, but on the other hand, there are other solutions. If you have the option to get unlimited MMS, do it; otherwise, send several texts instead of one long one.

Hello,
You should know that on Android, special characters like emojis take up significantly more space than a simple letter, for example. Thus, a special heart will take up almost the space of 90 letters "a". You can therefore reduce your character count and thus the size of your SMS.
There is also a solution that few people know about (it seems to me since, after searching, I could only find this tip twice). Once in your "Messages" app, tap the left touch button on your phone to open a dropdown menu. There, tap on the line "settings". Then you need to look for "Input mode" and set it to GSM Alphabet, then set "Creation mode" to Limited.
And there you go, normally the conversion is canceled, you can now write longer SMS without having to switch to MMS format or split your SMS.
Best regards, Warsondu78.
