    because MMS allows more characters while sending only 1 item (rather than 3 messages that may be sent/received at different times)

    cut up your messages
    Google Chrome OS??

    Use the character count that comes up. Looks something like this 2/160 to plan out how each message sent is going to be. Sending more than 3 causes it become a MMS

    How can I see the character counter? I have an HTC magic with android 1.5
    The messaging app does not show it by default.

    I am happy with the 160 char limit, but I hate sending two sms messages with just one word in the second msg
    thanks

    Just type stuff... once you have over 150 characters in the text message it'll appear at the top right of the text box (next to the Send button).

    Oh great! It worked at 150 chars. Thanks.
    "Ask the expert" works better than lots of googling
