Why the long text?

My Little sister, now 35, hasn’t texted in a week, a long stretch for us, so I thought perhaps she had been ill again. Then finally I got a text and it was our usual back and forth chatter. Then part way through a series of four smaller texts all doing she couldn’t send a long text. How weird 🤷🏼‍♂️

I had never had a problem like this beforehand, however, I’d only recently switched to Android. I had noticed recently several carrier updates, I wonder were these the reason? Dr Google to the rescue. I did make one tweak in settings, but ultimately decided to just restart the phone, something I rarely do. Bam, this had the desired effect and my sister’s longer texts now were able to come through.

Not sure if the one setting or the restart brought the desired effect. Think I’ll just restart periodically just for good measure.
