Status 65536 appearing on Text messages.

Anyone know what this is?!? Have just noticed today on Details for texts, that it says Status: 65536 on some texts I've sent today. Some not all. Also last text I sent has been charged 39c when it should only be 15c, don't know if that has anything to do with the Status: 65536 thing though.

Mms are probably 39c.

Sounds like you're sending messages greater than 160 characters in length.

These can either be sent as MMS (1000 chars, 39c) or multiple SMS chained together (each about 140).

I suspect whatever your phone is doing to chain messages may be triggering that error. If they're actually sending then don't worry about it or get a different texting app.

If it is of any relevance 65536 = 2^16.

Tis, either the message itself or the error reply from the network is rolling over.

That's an android error
