Text messaging
This article will teach you how to text message on Korean phones.
Standard style

Sky™ Phones
Sky™ (brand) phones have a different style of text messaging. Unlike the standard way, you don't use • and ㅣ to create vowels.
The consonants are self explanatory, so the table below shows how to create all the Korean vowels.
