Text Messaging: Text messaging, or texting is the common term for the sending of “short” (160 characters or fewer) text messages, using the Short Message Service (SMS), from mobile phones. It is available on most digital mobile phones and some personal digital assistants with onboard wireless telecommunications. The individual messages which are sent are called text messages, and more colloquially SMSes, texts, or even txts (in “text speak”). The most common application of the service is person-to-person messaging, but text messages are also often used to interact with automated systems, such as ordering products and services for mobile phones, or participating in contests like Eurovision.
