If you use dictate rather than asking Siri to post the message, you can write
the text as long as you wish. Just remember, every 140 characters becomes a new
text message. So, the person receiving the message receives multiple messages.
Also, the total number of messages is subtracted from the block of messages you
purchase, or you are charged $0.20 per 140 character block.
My guess is people have been complaining to Apple about receiving substantial
text message charges when having Siri write the messages.
