Short Message Service (SMS) is a component of short messaging services available on mobile phones, world wide web and mobile device systems. SMS seems popular in the era of feature phones or before the advent of the smartphone era.
Wikipedia explains, SMS is the most widely used data application with an estimated approximately 3.5 billion active users or approximately 80 percent of all cellular subscribers at the end of 2010.
The SMS used on modern devices comes from telegraph radio in 'radio memo pagers' using standard telephone protocols. It was defined in 1985 as part of the standard set of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM).
SMS is also used in mobile marketing, a kind of direct marketing. According to one market research report, by 2014, the global SMS messaging business is estimated to be worth over USD100 billion, accounting for nearly 50 percent of all revenue generated by mobile messaging.
The concept of SMS was developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert. The first SMS was sent in 1992 from Neil Papworth, a former developer at Sema Group Telecoms.
Most GSM phones did not support the ability to send SMS. The first SMS gateway for mobile phones is network notification, which is usually to inform voicemail.
Nokia became the first mobile phone manufacturer to support SMS delivery for users in 1993. Then in 1997, Nokia began producing mobile phones with a full keyboard that is Nokia 9000i Communicator.

Like other new technologies, the initial growth of SMS is fairly slow. The average American user sent 0.4 SMS per month in 1995. But gradually mobile phones and networks were adapted to better accommodate SMS.
In 1999, SMS could eventually be exchanged for different networks. As a result the average amount of SMS delivery was increased to 35 per month for each person.
The first common commercial text method is referred to as multi tap. Where each phone number is connected to three or four letters. For example button 3 will display the letters D, E, and F. Multi-tap method is fairly easy to understand but not very efficient.
The full keyboard on the phone was first introduced in 1997 with the Nokia 9000i Communicator. It became a popular feature in the late 90's to early '00s. Most of the models adopt the QWERTY keyboard, the layout we used to use on the computer.
In 2012, SMS becomes the most used service in the world with the percentage of users up to 81%. SMS also becomes more than just a way to communicate with colleagues or family, but users can receive updates, alerts, financial records, email and more.
However, the presence of instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp eroded the popularity of SMS. Even so, SMS is never lost from the ranks of mobile phone features to date.
