''You bought a Korean version of Samsung Galaxy S3 from a friend for a very good price. Because you have other country's versions of phones, you figure you'll have absolutely no problem with this Korean one. You're wrong! Korean carriers have put a limit on their SMS. Compared to normal SMS limits, these are extremely low - ranging from 80-140 bytes depending the service provider. This means that when your SMS goes above the limit, the phone will automatically trim it down. Good thing we are going to save a lot of trouble by giving you the solution below. ''

== Instructions ==

# Go to the "Application Menu" usually found on your Samsung Galaxy S3's Home Menu.
# Look for the "Play Store" application and open it.
# Search for the keyword "Handcent".
# The very first result is the one we're looking for. Tap on it.
# Tap on "Install Application". Download should start and installation should commence right after the download is complete.
# Open the application and you are done. You can now send and receive SMS the way it was meant to be - the non-Korean version.
