Verison told me that it only sent the first 160 characters??? ?

Question

So I sent this text but now I'm not sure that it sent the whole thing... it says it sent the first 160 characters in plain text wtf does that mean

Answer 1

SMS messages are limited to 160 characters across all carriers worldwide.  That is part of the standard.  If you send a message longer than 160 characters, most newer phones split the message up and send it in multiple pieces (1/3  2/3  3/3 for example).

"plain text" just means unformatted text.  For example, if you bolded something or underlined something, that formatting is stripped from the message.
