Motorola razr v3xx - automatically sending text messages in the multimedia/picture format

Haha, i don't know what to do! I try to send regular text messages but it's treating it like a picture/multimedia message which is probably costing a fair bit more.. i didn't change any of the phone settings it just switched like this yesterday and i've tried turning it off and on, checking all the settings, but i can't figure out how to change it back to normal. please help!

Text messaging issue

Problem is a known issue with V3xx. If Inbox/outbox combined are above 300 messages, text messages are sent as picture messages. Use the auto-cleanup if you'd like, or manually delete texts, but I've had this issue with my V3xx since I first got it, and was told this same answer by AT&T tech support.

RAZR V3XX - sends my texts as MMS, rather than SMS...

I had this same problem and called Motorola for support. The solution is to clear text/mms message inbox and outbox. The default setting on my phone was to never clear the inbox but I changed that to remove messages when they are 10 days old, I have not experienced the problem since.

Pls help with template problem

when you go "new message" in the messages menu it should give you an option of text message as well as multimedia message and other things. If the problem is when replying to messages it should automatically send in text format and if it doesn't then it should once you have sent some "text" messages from the "new message" option. Hope this helps :-)
