Cool, you txt in code.
No,seriously, I haven't seen that issue on the Voyager, but I'm not where I can check if it's a previously encountered issue. Two things: leave it on and take the battery out, count to 10, put it back. Then when it powers on dial *228 and choose option 1. Test it. If it's still misbehaving I'd call in on it. Unless there's an alert in your area it's the phone.

its not your phones its theirs. most phones have a txt character limit. like you said when you go over 120 chars, they get a jumbled msg. so obviously thier phones cant handle txts over 120 chars, so stop sending such long txt msgs.

Text should be 160 characters, including address. Except enhanced msg svc capable phones, they'll take 1,000 characters. If it's another VZW phone it's easy to tell, if not then the other carrier may have difficulty. In either case, if it's a matter of an ems message to a phone/carrier that may not be ems capable, VZW kicks back an error message. The text is still sent, but the format may change (such as signature dropped or cutoff)
