Not receiving complete text message

I am not receiving a complete text message.  I'm hoping there is a setting that I need to adjust to allow a longer text message to be received.  I can get about 10 lines then it just cuts if off as if that was the complete message.  It does not present the missing portion as a second message.  Anyone know how to fix this?  Galaxy S8 plus

Send the message to the MMS email address Phonenumber@vzwpiz.com. To send via the SMS email requires the message to be limited to 160 characters and no special characters.

Can you have the person send it as a MMS message instead?

I could do that but what I'd like is to be able to receive a complete text message sent from a computer to my Samsung S8.  A partial message with no indication it is a partial message is not working for me.

Thanks

That’s it Ann154. I obviously got only the first 160 characters. Thank you so much for helping me understand the limitations. Much appreciated.
