new problem with 160+ texting

[HawkeyeT]

Recently as most of you know verizon finally made it so we could send texts with 160+ characters. this was really good except now everytime i send a text anywhere near 160 characters (it happens at like 158 characters too) my phone keeps saying message failed again and again even though i have 3-4 bars. i looked at "message info" and it said status-failed, error-temporary, cause- othr. ntwk.

I know it says temporary but this has been going on for a week. Is there anything i can do to fix it?

I am a Verizon Wireless agent looking to address your concerns.   I am going to send you a private message to further trouble shoot your issue.

I am having the same problem, especially with non-Verizon users.  I will try multiple times to send a message with full service and it will not go through for an extended period of time. Usually I have to retype the message before it will even go through. I get this problem especially with AT&T but it happens pretty often with Verizon.
