Last night i was using my phone to send my girl freinds loads of kisses. x . so i was holding down the x buttons noticing that it was alowing me to put as many x's as i like. can i ask is there a limite in the number of sms being able to send in one go because i got to 10 sms's long befor i got bored and sent.

This got me thinking if there is no limite could this not be used to make a DoS attack on some one by flooding them with a sms a thousand or a million "provided u have free sms's" sms's long. as it would flood there inbox till it was full.

not saying wow look at this every one go do it just saying should a limite be added just to be nice to other people withought 32gbs of storage.

There are plenty of other existing ways to send hundreds or thousands of SMSes, so I don't think the fact that the N900 allows you to type multi-SMS messages is particularly a problem. Although maybe it should warn the user if they don't get free SMSes.
