when ever i get any long text from my frnds and i try to send them to others, the text is appeared with a message saying that my text is converted into multimedia msg..
y this happens and how i can get rid of this issue that.. i cant forward long msgs because it converts it into mms,, can someone help me out here 
Discussion is locked
SMS has a limit of 160 characters so forwarding it may tack on more and cause the conversion.

thats odd,, coz even in normal cellphones after 160 the text becomes of 2 pages,, it does not convert into mms,,, is their any setting option from which it stopped from being converted into mms rather becomes of two or more pages
.....that only your wireless provider can answer that question. Which carrier are you using? You might need to download an application to the phone to correct the issue if they cannot resolve the issue. Good luck and keep us updated on what happens.
i was also thinking of visiting the franchise,, m from pakistan,,using telenor,, facing such issue since i started using s3
I'm finding folk today call out a problem where there is nothing but a limitation or an app that does it one way and another app does it the other way.
That depends on how said cell phones handle this. It's an old issue and since we know about the limit we know that what happens is not a sure thing.
At least you can replace your SMS app on android phones but I'm bumping into folk that don't know that!

i have other apps ,, but now i think i should contct my cellular network provider
