Text message limit problem..

[AC Question]

Hello all, just got my LG g3 yesterday and I love it! However, though the user guide says text messages over the 160 character limit will automatically go over into a second message that will be sent at the same time (like most phones and like the Rant I switched from), once I hit 160 characters, I am not allowed to input any more text. I have looked at all the messaging settings and can't seem to rectify this. Is anyone else having this problem and its there anything I can do to fix this? I send a lot of longer text messages and it is getting annoying having to stop and make two drafts or go back and truncate my texts. Any input is appreciated, I have the feeling I'm just missing something! Thanks.

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which SMS app?

If you are using the default texting app, its options may be a little limited. The more advanced 3rd-party apps do give you the options of splitting the long message or converting it to MMS to stay as a single message.
