Galaxy S Plus monitoring text message length

The wife's been texting away on her new phone but we can't seem to find any way of seeing the number of characters available in each message before a second or third text is generated. She's pays for her texts on PAYG and on her old phone you can see the number of available characters count down as you type but on this one there seems to be no such facility? Are we missing something?

Cheers as always.

No, you're not missing anything.
If your wife doesn't get free texts with PAYG, maybe try sending messages through Viber for free using Wi-Fi instead

Re: Galaxy S Plus monitoring text message length

Thanks for the tip

Have just found out that the character counter only displays when you get to the last 10 characters of the 160 allowed per text.

Re: Galaxy S Plus monitoring text message length

You can use an alternative messaging app (e.g. Handcent) which displays characters all the time.

Re: Galaxy S Plus monitoring text message length

Go SMS is a good text app for android. You could also consider something like Whatsapp which gives free messaging, although it will use your data. However a very small amount.
