Well lets see, on my phones the longest SMS message before it goes to a 2nd
message is 160 characters not 60 characters. However I do not recall if the
2nd/3rd/etc... part of the message is the same length. So they way I read
what you said is that the phone is telling you it will take two messages to
send your message and you have 20 characters left of the 2nd part of the
message.
Note! The number of characters it takes for a SMS may very from cell
provider to cell provider.
Talks doesn't compute the message information. It just reads what is on the
phone.
Also keep in mind, just because your computer says something is NNN
characters in length doesn't mean that is the same on the phone.

Subject: [Talks] input status problem on the e66
Hi all
After writing an sms I wish to send, I pressed talks and I hold down key2
for a second.
Talks told me:
"20, 2, upper case."
From What I have read on this list earlier, the number 2 means I have
exceeded the number of characters of one sms.
The maximum number of characters for 1 sms is 60.
Is this right?
I wrote the text of the sms in notepad on my pc.
I saved the text file on my phone.
Then I went to file manager on my phone and opened the text file from
there.
And then I choose send as text message from the options menu.
After I sent the sms, I opened the text file containing the text of the
sms,
in Microsoft word.
I clicked properties on the file menu and I clicked the statistics tab.
MSWord shows that the text file contains 280 characters including spaces.
So if it is so that 1 sms can only contain 60 characters, then in
reality
talks is suppose to give the number 5 as 60 times 4 is 240 and then the
remaining 40 characters, adds up to 5 s m esses.
Is this right?
Or does talks give me the wrong figures when I press talks key2 long press
for input status?
Any help is much appreciated.
I am using talks4, non-premium.
