How do I tell how many characters I have left when writing a standard 160 chr SMS?
Thanks.

when you get to 140 it starts counting down for you in the top left corner |

Simple!
I was sure I was nearly at the end! Obviously didn't get as far as 140.
Thanks.

Are you checking the character counter to ensure that you keep within the 160-char limit?
Or you can stop worrying, and turn on the long SMS options where your message will be truncated into multiple parts for sending.
Quite convenient for long SMS. |

That will not appear before you have only 20 caracters left... At least on my t68...

May I ask: On which phone(s)? Is that a documented feature? I do not remember having read that in my T39 manual.

there are many things that are not in the manual. even though the manual gives a solid and reliable impression, there are a lot of things that simply are not there. |

Slightly OT.
I've noticed that I keep getting a "part missing in message" when I receive text from one person. What does this mean?  |

You get "part missing" when you receive a concatenated SMS where one or more parts is missing. The part(s) that is missing is marked with (..) when you read the message. |

I think that it would be better if I could see the counter from the beginning instead of just 20 last letters. Would be easier to \"organize\" the message.
