If you cannot send messages

Understanding appended messages
When you start a message, the maximum character limit appears once you are in the message entry field. This number counts down as you enter characters, until it reaches 0. If you continue to enter text after this counter reaches 0, a message segment may be appended. When you reach the message size limit, you are prompted to edit the message or alerted that the message is being appended.
