You can answer this by going into a new message arrowing to the text area and before you type any thing at all, do a Talks release it and press and hold soft key2 for about 1 second. This will then tell you how many characters you have at the start of a message. As you can see, this is information you can get on your own just by checking at the start of a message to see how many characters are left. This is how long the message can be for that part as far as the phone knows. This limit may be larger and or smaller then what your cell provider has as there default. This may also depend on the language being used. This is why i suggest using the above to see how long of message you can write.
