Its cause they can't receive mms messages and once the text message gets longer than one on the triumph it converts it to a mms. Just split your messages into multiple smaller ones!
What text app do you use? In most of them (the stock one included) there is an option for SMS split. It will auto-split messages longer than 160 characters for you, and should make your messages go through.
If you can't find it, reply with what text message app you use and I or someone else should be able to point you to the option.

CDMA network based phones CANNOT send text messages over 160 characters.
youll need to MANUALLY split the message into two or more messages that are less than 160 characters each, OR use an app that does it for you.
GO SMS is a REALLY good sms app, it can backup your sms and manage them better with nice themes, AND it has a setting to split texts automatically. just type it as long as you want, it will split it correctly before it leaves the phone so you have no problems.
ICS messaging has the same feature, im using that now on my EVO on virgin. becuase on the stock messaging app, it doesnt split the messages and they never send.

Sorry, and thanks. I was looking at the "stock" mms app on my CM7 install and assumed the "regular" stock did as well. I guess we all know what assuming does.
Thanks for the correction.
