f.demello Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Hello - I use the Leak Sensor program listed in these pages and used to get full texts from events when with Verizon. I switched to AT&T and now my texts are truncated so I don't see the entire message. I changed the text parameters to AT&T Has anyone else seen this?
MrBill Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 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.

Thanks MrBill - will try that this weekend
f.demello Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 I'm sorry - I stated this wrong. My problem is when I switched to Verizon from AT&T. Would the same logic apply? [10digit]@mms.verizon.net. Currently using [10digit]@vtext.com per the program drop down for Verizon text
MrBill Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 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. Sent using Tapatalk

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.
