Introduction
Cellular carriers expected wireless Internet access to be the next big thing, but while they were waiting for consumers to jump on the bandwagon, a sleepy technology that had been around for years took them by surprise. Short Messaging Service, or SMS, has become wildly popular in Europe and Asia, where more advanced digital networks made SMS available long before its debut in North America. Now, SMS is catching on here as a relatively low cost and easy to use solution for on-the-go connectivity.
Short message service (SMS) is a globally accepted wireless service that enables the transmission of alphanumeric messages between mobile subscribers and external systems such as electronic mail, paging, and voice-mail systems.
