All that is required is for someone to change that and you will be OK.

So, while we didn't get to the bottom of it, we did succeed! Thanks lots for your help. Much appreciated.

I would just back space as much as necessary until you hear Talks say message. Then start a new message writing what you deleted. If you go beyond the text message you will hear Talks say multi-media. Then stop amd backspace again etc. You should not be having these problems though you could always call Vodafone on Tuesday amd ask then why you cannot send the multimedia message. It may be that multimedia settings need to be sent to your phone. Again I would be surprised that you do not have the settin -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Message formatting From: "Amie Slavin" <amie.slavin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 02/01/2011 5:38 pm I'm on contract with Vodafone too. Guess it must be the length. Any ideas how I can go about splitting it into pieces without trashing it? My editing options include copy and cut, but if I select either then nothing happens. Thanks for your help though.

However, I have o2 amd Vodafone amd when my long message goes to multi-media due to length it still goes. I an on contract wit Vodafone amd not a problem. O2 is pay as you go so I an charged for more than one message at a time when it exceeds the limit, sometimes it may be the length of 2 messages amd sometimes the length of 3 messages. You may also think of who you are sending to. Maybe their phone is not one that receives multi-media message i hope this helps. Maybe if your text messages are that long, you might think of sending an e-mail instead. . -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Message formatting From: "Amie Slavin" <amie.slavin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 02/01/2011 3:45 pm Hi list Not even sure if this is a useful subject line, so confused am I... Have just spent ages writing a v long txt msg, but find, when I hit send, that it has somehow turned into a multimedia message and my phone is repeatedly failing to send it. I'm assuming that I have a problem with multimedia formats so need to make it turn back into a txt message, but can't find any way of doing this. Please help. IF it was an ordinary length msg then I'd just trash it and rewrite, but it's really annoyed me. I don't think it's longer than other messages I've written and sent, with no problems. Can anyone advise me...? Big big thanks if you can. Amie P.S. I've never sent an mms intentionally; well never at all, not even by accident, so all my settings are as per ordinary txts, as far as I can tell. I've just checked full support, in accordance with one help tip, to stop it converting of it's own accord, but as I've never had this happen before I don't think it is a settings thing. I must have somehow hit something while writing the message, but no idea what, much less how to put it right. Aaaaaaagh! No virus found in this incoming message.
