Am I nuts?
I currently have Verizon, my hubby AT&T. I am able to receive pictures from him on my phone but he is unable to receive pictures from me. What gives? ๐
Also any time I send a text longer than, I think 160 characters, it cuts off my text at that point and wont send any of the rest. When he sends me a long text it comes in multiple pages but I still get the WHOLE thing. Is this just a Verizon thing or am I totally crazy? ๐คจ

Have him call at&t customer care. that sounds like a provisioning issue.

i know at&t sends it, but i'm not sure what verizon does on there part. i haven't used them enough to know for sure.

I thought he liked Verizon.
i think he is talking about the post i made yesterday joking around about china mobile and flux capacitors. i do work for at&t, i just got verizon for service because at&t does not work at my new home. i used to use the crippled argument but that's been a few years ago... all carriers have problems and all carriers have advantages over each other so i try and only argue in the at&t forum because that what i know.

Oh yeah, and I said I love flux capacitors! I'm actually watching Back To The Future right now.

That's true, but my DeLorean only has a 2.6 liter engine. It needs a turbo!

Thanks. I do think the picture thing is an AT&T problem, because I sent one to my friend, who has T-Mobile, and she got it no problem.
As for the text, that I think is a Verizon thing. I think it would be ok if it was being sent to another person who has VZW, but who knows? We'll see what AT&T tells hubby, tonight. Hope they can fix whatever is going on.

Verizon TXT's are weird.
If the message is over 160 characters, and you're sending to a now VZW member.. it just cuts the TXT off at that point.
If the person you're TXT'ing is also on VZW it'll send all of it though. It just sends it as multiple txt's.
Hope this clears it up a bit.

to me that would indicate the receiving carrier's issue...not the sending carrier. Apparently, it goes out thru VZW, just at&t won't accept multiple texts or something like that...
...
Whenever I've sent TXT's over 160 to non VZW subscribers I get a TXT back from VZW saying they only send multiple TXT's to VZW subscribers, and only 160characters to non VZW subscribers.
That's the only reason I felt confident in posting what I said above!
It really sucks though.. I hate it. Most the people I do txt aren't on VZW.

Then send a picture message with no picture. In the message portion of it you can do 1000 characters

Enhanced messages can be up to 1000 characters long, or have embedded tones or graphics, but only works In-network (VZW to VZW).
So, if you send a txt over 160 characters long out of network, or embed graphics or tones in the txt, only the first 160 characters will be sent. You will get a bounce back message from the VZW server stating this as well.
Solution: if over 160 characters, send it as 2 separate messages.

I thought everyone knew about the 160 character rule. Most phones count spaces and letters as you type. ๐

True... However, at least carriers like TMobile will deliver multiple TXT's from a message going over 160... ev...

I know that my sister has AT&T, and when she sends me long texts, they appear as two messages.

Verizon Wireless will deliver any message/picture you send to the other network, AT&T in this case. Once it reaches their network, VZW no longer has any control over how the message is delivered. This is most likely an issue with AT&T's network as he is receiving the first part of the message. If it were on VZW's side, he would probably receive nothing.
...
according to the verizon wireless website if you send a message over 160 characters out of network the message will be truncated to 160 and you will receive a message advising you.
Yes this is a known issue.
No you're not crazy.
Yes they might as well say that their text messaging isn't as cool as everyone elses.
