The first message that was sent by mobile phone was a "Merry Christmas" (December 3, 1992) that was sent as a test from a computer to a mobile phone company Vodafone. He made 20 years this week. Out of curiosity, SMS acronyms refer to (Short Message Service) and it was one of the services that helped turn mobile phones into something popular.


SMS have been a viable alternative to voice calls which, although today it can talk unlimited for about 30 euros, in his home had a very high cost. Messages were a way of communicating is spending at least money possible and efficiently.

Every Christmas or every new year's, millions of messages colapsaban networks of operators for hours and today the effect has been reduced until Instant Messaging like WhatsApp services have done that SMS have lost their value and operators gave them in their rates and nobody is set in them.

Operators have responded too late to such applications and their alternatives will never have much sense, this field has become a battle of third-party companies (currently consider to WhatsApp as the strongest and a Line that comes on the heels). You know that are 140 characters from Twitter? They are the same as we can see in an SMS and when mobile connections were not frequent tweets via SMS messages could be sent (although now he can still but it is no longer so common).
