SMS turned 15 today - Happy Birthday !!!




SMS - Short Message Service. the most popular text message sending service available in GSM mobile phones turned its sweet 15 year today!

That first message, which read "Merry Christmas," was sent by Neil Papworth, an engineer at AirWide solutions, via the vodafone network to a colleague at the mobile operator who was enjoying the festivities of a staff Christmas party.

That first message sent back in 1992 was just the tip of the iceberg. It wasn't until the following year that phone-to-phone texting was born, thanks to an engineering student at Nokia being the first to type an SMS on a GSM phone

So Happy Birthday and long live Sweet Messaging Service....
