Can I increase number of characters in texts?

I have an LG Cosmos. Is there a way I can increase the number of characters that I receive and send in a text message. I have 160 and need more. If not, is there a setting where I could receive or send it in 2 messages? Thank you.

If you are able to send picture messages, and your recipient can receive picture messages (MMS) then send it that way. You don't have to attach a picture, and you are allowed 1000 characters.

Just choose picture message, and don't choose a picture, and type your long message in the text field.

If you keep typing it will carry over to a second message. Unually verizon to verizon will send the as one long text message.

Once in awhile I do get a message in two parts, very, very rarely. Never can I send anything longer than 160 characterxs, I get an error  message.
