What is the SMS



SMS or Short Messaging Service is the name given to a service that delivers text messages to a mobile or cell phone. The text messages are normally restricted to 160 characters (although some providers allow 70 and 500 characters). If a phone is out of coverage, in use or turned off, the service holds the message until the phone becomes available.
