Hi can anyone help or confirm what I have heard from Orange. My boss has an IPhone and has been sending lots of texts and emails to me over the last few months. She has just noticed that her bills are quite high so she contacted Orange. When she asked about the texts she was sending and the cost she was told by the Orange representative that, you only get 100 characters per text message with the IPhone. She was also told that it is Apple not Orange that has set the phone this way not the provider. Has anyone else heard this or confirm this is true?
IPhone Text message characters

She does get a set amount of text and supposedly she has gone over the amount she is allocated because of this 100 characters limit, I will get her to download the character counter just to prove it to her and then let her loose on Orange again. Thanks for the feedback I have a blackberry so don’t know too much about IPhone apps.
I was thinking the same thing. just seems a strange that they used this to explain away the amount of text messages with the amount of characters not simply you are sending longer text so you are sending more texts. She said she is on the same plan as before and she doesn’t send any more texts than she did before and she never went over her limit before. But I since I have had my Blackberry I send a lot more text and they are a lot longer, sometimes 4 – 5 text messages worth. Now that I have a full keyboard rather than pressing every key 3 to 4 times, it could she is doing the same without really noticing so instead of sending short to the point text she is going into more detail like she does on emails. I will get her to see what Orange say again and report back.
