sms based Lcd Display

yeah it receives them and can display them if i widen the loop to display ten messages.

Ok then its fine..
U can divide the msg in next line.Use 20X4 LCD so that entire msg will be displayed in one shot.

Hi kiran. I have tried using the 20x4 lcd display but the problem with it is it skips the second and fourth line hence it still leaves out some text

if msg has >40 characters. As with the 40x2, it displays only on the first line and leaves out some text as well

I want the 20x4 or 40x2 display to display on all line the same message(at once) from top to bottom without leaving out some text. Thanx

And I had forgotten to ask, Is it possible to add a scrolling format to the message display where by ot scrolls from the last line upwards as other messages follow from below.

Yes u can scroll the msgs.
Can u show us the code how u are breaking the entire array and sending to LCD.

attached below is my entire code.

#define LCD_EN		0x80
#define LCD_RS		0x20

#define LCD_SETMODE		   0x04
#define LCD_SETVISIBLE	   0x08

The above code only displays messages enclosed between #. i wanted to include that option in my code

Guys. Pliz really need your help
