Message: <blockquote data-quote="actinide" data-source="post: 11828173" data-attributes="member: 174522">In some devices the message type gets converted from SMS text message  to MMS multimedia message if the message length exceeds the  device-specific setting which is typically 5 - 10 SMS submessages  (around 760-1520 characters). If the message is longer, it is converted  to MMS to avoid potential issues in handling long text messages in the  recipient device. The cost of a SMS message consisting of several  concatenated submessages may also be higher than the cost of a single  MMS message. The conversion from SMS text message to MMS multimedia message occurs when the automatic  message type is selected in the message options. This is the default  mode where the device tries to automatically select the best mode for  the message. The conversion from SMS to MMS can be avoided by selecting Options > Sending options > Message type > Textwhen  in the Text message window writing the message. The message is then  always sent as SMS text message and no conversion to MMS occurs.  The  maximum number of concatenated SMS submessages can be up to 10 (around  1520 characters). In multimedia mode the message length can be longer.</blockquote>
