I don't know how to change the number of letters i am able to write in my text message i think it's called the "characters" atm i can only write 80letters which is only like 3lines :-/ please please help i have a Korean Samsung android anycall phone
 
Unfortunately, that's a limitation of SMS (Short Message Service) messages.

I'm going to guess that the Korean script you're using is a Chinese character based one (like Japanese Kanji), in which case it's double byte so whereas we get 160-ish characters in western script, in this script you will only get half as many characters as each Korean character can use the space of two western characters.

The Japanese have an alternative script called Katakana which is single byte. Does Korean have an equivalent? If you could switch to something like that, you would get roughly double the number of characters.
