When installed, it adds a counter into the stock Messages application. The character count is displayed on the Send button in the lower right corner as you type the message\u2026 it is a very clean implementation of the mod.<\/p>\n<p>This mod is cool for a couple of reasons. The first is that most devices (carriers) allow a text message of 160 characters before the message is split into two texts. Another reason this is a helpful mod is that if you twitter from your text messages, you normally have to guess when you have hit the 140 character limit well\u2026 not anymore!<\/p>\n<p>The counter displays the number of characters out of 160 (example 45\/160) however, since the iPhone can go over 160 characters it will just continue to count the characters (example 185\/160).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, a very cool mod that I will most definitely be keeping.
