Texts to Receiving Party as a Bunch of Symbols?

[brettnussb]

Has anyone encountered anyones receiving party of your text let you know that your text came in as a bunch of symbols? This has now happened twice to two different friends that both use Blackberrys when I have typed out a long text (it could possibly be over 160 characters). It sends out fine on my phone, but when they get it, it comes in as this on their phone:

@0000@(h)##7A (with a bunch more symbols, it goes on with about 50-75 characters)

I am running the following programs associated with my text:

Better Keyboard 8
Go SMS Pro
NoLED (Doubt this is the cause)

If you are using gosms, there should be a setting for splitting messages over 160 characters. You need to enable that setting.

mine did it too, using handcent...using the voice entry. All the rest were fine.

Handcent has the option too that you need to enable to split messages longer than 160 characters and it will fix that.

That fixed it, thanks guys. Not sure why they wouldn't have it as a default setting.
