W810i, limit on text message size

Pub07

I bought a Sony Ericsson W810i a few weeks ago and one thing thats bothering me about it is the limit on text message size. On my old phone I could keep typing as much as I wanted and it (I believe) automatically made the message bigger and charged for the extra size. Maybe there's a simple solution and this is a stupid question but it is really annoying me as I never have enough space when I'm typing a message on the W810i.
