Abstract
SMS stands for Short Messaging Service, and it is commonly referred to as text messaging or simply texting. Text messages are usually limited to 160 characters, and they are a great way to quickly touch base with someone without interrupting them with a voice call. Sometimes you can text someone and receive a text reply when it would be impossible or difficult to make a voice call.
