Leak Sensors - Text via AT&T Truncated

if you are using [10digit]@txt.att.net to send the text messages switch to [10digit]@mms.att.net and that should solve your problem.  The first addesss is limited length text messages.  Also the @txt version arrives from weird numbers, the @mms version will arrive from the email address that sent.

i don't know anything about verizon's gateway, but i did google and found this page. 

From the info here it seems @vtext.com has a limit of 160 char.  It seems the verizon equivelent to @mms.att.net might be to use @vzwpix.com (also found on the same page).

IIRC 160 charts is an international SMS spec.

 

Some providers will automatically change the text to MMS? if the 160 is exceeded.

I remembered 160 characters as an SMS limit from a long time ago.   Apparently Verizon truncates from what OP suggests.  I was confused when the question was about AT&T because last time I ran experiments between @txt and @mms on AT&T it didn't truncate, but it did break long messages up into short 160 character blocks and deliver them all, sometimes out of order, Verizon apparently accepts 160 chars and truncates.  However the link I included above suggests the @vzwpix.com address accepts text to 1000 characters.
