IPhone 4S won't send long texts

If I break down the message it will send but for some reason it's just started refusing to send long texts. What's wrong with it? I tried resetting my network settings and its not working. It's driving me nuts!

May t could be the persons phone that you are sending the messages to? I know some phone, like a basics feature phone can only send a receive messages that are 160 character long. As while iPhone can practically send and receive a large text. Try sending a long text to some one you know had an iPhone or android phone and see if it works.

A long message is sometimes sent as a MMS.
Make sure that MMS's are enabled on your network plan and on your iphone [settings --> messages --> scroll down --> MMS messaging --> ON]
If it is ON I would phone your network provider and make sure MMS is on your plan. If this fails just speak to them again and they should explain how to fix the problem!
Hope this helps

  • Why won't my iphone send texts? I just bought an iphone 5C about 3 hours ago, and I just got home. I have an airrave because my house barely gets sprint signal. Well i have tried using the phone and i can't send texts, one or two may go through to another iphone but 95% of my texts will not send. With the airrave if your connected you can make a call and hear three beeps, i hear these beeps but still can't send texts. Anyone know of a fix?
  • Why won't my new iPhone 6 (AT&T) send or receive texts/calls? I activated it two hours ago and backed it up with the data and phone number from my old iPhone 4. Both phones now read AT&T and show cellular signal and data in the top left hand corner. But when you text or call my phone number, the iPhone 4 receives it. Why won't my new phone receive it?

  • Why won't my iphone send or receive texts? I have just bought an iPhone off my friend. I also have free texts. It sometimes says that I have signal and other times says that I don't have any. But whenever I try and send a text they won't send. I also don't receive any messages either. Does anybody know why this is happening?
