What I Love About SMS On The iPhone

[Watcher]

I haven't heard this mentioned before and I really don't know if it's on any other phone but I love when I send text messages, it's not cut off at the 160 character limit as it is on most phones. Whether sending or receiving messages, it retains the entire message for viewing. This is a great feature I have never seen or heard anyone else discuss.

Yeah but when you send a text over 160 characters it does get separated into 2 messages when sent. But still it is nice.

Also you have to be careful which phone you're sending to because although the Iphone reads the whole message the other phone will cut it off if it's an older phone.

Unless it's sent to another iPhone.

obviously the iPhone can interpret 2 simultaneous messages into one. Which is what this topic was about. LOL

Yep, it's the little things..

LOL I know but there are people out there with lesser phones so we have to be mindful of them

What I love about SMS on the Iphone is the ability with 3.0 to forward and delete parts of messages. Also the fact that it keeps the whole conversation together in one thing.

Yup i love that part everything is organized

I agree...it is much easier to keep up with different conversations

It is one of the greatest feature that iPhone has given to us...But,there is not much saying about it..But, I think everyone should agree that it is a great feature to keep up with different conversations..

i love this feature too. but i ask this, is there a way (app, JB) to add a character counter to your MSM? that way i know when i'm getting close to my limit

I like how SMS on the iPhone is like a Instand Message Chat, keeps things alot more organized.

Apple is awesome...

Instant Message Chat is the perfect way of putting it.

are you guys talking about threaded messaging? yes its pretty awesome and its becoming standard in most phones. i would never again buy a phone that doesn't have this feature

 

[GMJeff]

I do believe that someone else came up with threaded messaging, not Apple. I had it on my Treo 750 which was/is a Windows Mobile device.
