What is Text Messaging?
Text messaging is a popular method of sending short messages using the keypad on your cellular phone. Extremely popular in Europe and Asia, text messaging is now hitting the US as the carriers have allowed inter carrier messaging between competing operators. It is a highly convenient, low cost or even free method (depending on your operator contract) of communication for quick instant messages. SMS stands for short messaging service.

Besides exchanging messages between friends, text messaging lets you participate in contests, TV and radio shows, and much more! Messages are limited to 160 characters.
