Samsung Galaxy S2 unable to text more than 80 characters, can anyone help?

Would really appreciate some advice,

Last year when I was living in South Korea I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I had no problems with it but since i've been back in the UK every time I text it converts my message into a MMS even though i'm only sending about 80 characters. It's really annoying and means I can only send a few words on each text hah

I've read up online and ive tried downloading some SMS apps such as handcent etc but nothing is working :'(
Any suggestions? I can't afford to buy a new phone currently, desperately trying to fix this.

Thanks,

Have you tried to clear cache in recovery?

From a Sprint Moto X using AC forums app

Tried that and cleared RAM, but still no luck

Thankyou for the suggestion though

Yeah, that is a different one. Maybe a factory reset? I know they suck, but sometimes those help.
