SMS (Short Message Service)
How would we survive with texting? Many companies have claimed to have sent the very first text message however reports suggest that the honour went to Edward Lantz, an employee at NASA who sent a simple message via his Motorola Beeper using upside down numbers to spell out words. The first commercial SMS message was sent over the Vodafone GSM network in the UK on 3rd December 1992 from Neil Papworth on a personal computer to Richard Jarvis using an Orbitel 901 handset. The message read "Happy Christmas". Today we have moved on again to predictive text but I think the verdict is still out on it seeing as a good portion of the mobile using world prefer to stick to the single letter format.
