What is SMS?

Question

What is SMS?

Answer

Short Message Service (SMS) is a service available on most digital mobile phones, other mobile devices and some fixed phones. SMS permits the sending of short text messages between mobile phones, other handheld devices and even landline telephones. The terms "text messaging," "text messages," "texts," or even "txts" and its variants are more commonly used in North America, the UK, Spain and the Philippines, while most other countries prefer the term "SMS."
Text messages are also often used to interact with automated systems, such as ordering products and services for mobile phones, or participating in contests.
