Short message service or SMS came from radio telegraphy using standardized phone protocols before it was used on mobile phones or fixed line devices. Thanks to today’s technology, sending SMS can now be done through mobile phones, the Web, and even tablet devices, though not all. SMS text messaging is one of the most widely used data applications in the world, having more than 2.4 billion active users. In most countries, SMS can be sent for a small fee because most telecommunications companies charge a certain fee for that while there are still corporations that offer if free of charge if it comes with a voice and text plan. Online users can also take advantage of this feature because websites now make it available to send SMS over the web.
