Do the texts exceed 160 characters?
Also, of your friends, does it a happen with two friends on different carriers (maybe one has AT&T and the other Verizon... Does it happen with both)?

I'm having the same exact issue, also with Sprint, for short messages under 160 characters. Did you get this issue resolved? Does calling them actually work? I called when this first started happening and they didn't know anything about it. They simply had me do a profile update, whihc did not resolve the issue.
i have called and talked to a few different people but no one seems to know what is going on, so as of now no fix
iPhone 4s splitting texts when sending?
Mine has been doing the same thing. I took it into the store the other day and they hadn't heard about it yet, but supposedly more ppl have been dealing with it and it's any message over 80 characters is split into two messages, and the second message usually only contains the last word. I've heard it's a problem with the 5.1 software and hopefully they will have it fixed when they release 5.2. To get around it in the meantime though, if you put 3 spaces after the last word in your text, it will prevent the message from being split into two. Hope this helps!
