Can't receive texts longer than 160 characters

[NafcMontana]

Hi guys, me again,
two weeks ago i bought a Lumia 625,
since i have this phone i cant receive text messages that contain more than 160 characters. I can send text messages containing more than 160 characters and they immediately arrive but if someone sends me a text message containing more than 160 characters i get them 2 or 3 days later.
can someone help me please??

Network issue.. multi-page messages are in fact sent as individual messages which are put back together on the receipient's handset (if it supports it), and appears as 1 long message.

And do you know how to fix this?

The first S in SMS is for "short" - the limit being 160 characters.
If they're taking a few days to arrive you need to speak to your network. But some things to help isolate the issue might help - get someone definitely on the same network as you to send a message (so you avoid the "it's the other network's fault") and put your SIM in another handset to rule that out (or in) as an issue.

When i put my sim card in my iPhone everything works, when i put it back in my Nokia it doesnt work anymore is there any setting to do this?

That sounds bizarre, but seems you've narrowed it down to a handset issue. I'd do a hard reset of the device and then re-test. Bear in mind the hard reset will wipe certain data etc.
