Hvornår blev den første sms sendt?
3. december 1992
Text messaging
SMS-beskeder blev brugt for første gang den 3. december 1992, da Neil Papworth, en 22-årig testingeniør for Sema Group i Det Forenede Kongerige (nu Airwide Solutions), brugte en pc til at sende tekstbeskeden "Merry Christmas" via Vodafone-netværket til Richard Jarvis' telefon, der var til fest i Newbury, Berkshire, som var blevet arrangeret for at fejre denne begivenhed. Moderne SMS-beskeder er [af hvem?] normalt beskeder fra en mobiltelefon til en anden mobiltelefon. Det finske Radiolinja blev det første net, der i 1994 tilbød en kommerciel person-til-person SMS-beskedstjeneste. Da Radiolinjas indenlandske konkurrent, Telecom Finland (nu en del af TeliaSonera), også lancerede SMS-beskeder i 1995, og de to net tilbød SMS-funktionalitet på tværs af nettene, blev Finland det første land, hvor SMS-beskeder blev tilbudt både på et konkurrencemæssigt og kommercielt grundlag. GSM blev tilladt [af hvem?] i USA, og radiofrekvenserne blev blokeret og tildelt amerikanske "operatører" til at bruge amerikansk teknologi. Der er derfor ingen "udvikling" i USA inden for mobilbeskedtjenester. GSM i USA måtte bruge en frekvens, der var tildelt private kommunikationstjenester (PCS) - som ITU's frekvensordning havde blokeret for DECT - Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications - picoceller med en rækkevidde på 1.000 fod, men overlevede. American Personal Communications (APC), det første GSM-selskab i USA, leverede den første sms-tjeneste i USA. Sprint Telecommunications Venture, et partnerskab mellem Sprint Corp. og tre store kabel-tv-selskaber, ejede 49% af APC. Sprint Venture var den største enkeltkøber ved en statslig frekvensauktion, der i 2005 indbragte 7,7 mia. dollars for PCS-licenser. APC opererede under varemærket Sprint Spectrum og lancerede sin tjeneste den 15. november 1995 i Washington, D.C. og Baltimore, Maryland. Vicepræsident Al Gore i Washington D.C. foretog det første telefonopkald til lanceringen af nettet og ringede til borgmester Kurt Schmoke i Baltimore.

Text messaging
SMS messaging was used for the first time on 3 December 1992, when Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old test engineer for Sema Group in the UK (now Airwide Solutions), used a personal computer to send the text message "Merry Christmas" via the Vodafone network to the phone of Richard Jarvis who was at a party in Newbury, Berkshire which had been organised to celebrate the event. Modern SMS text messaging is[by whom?] usually messaging from one mobile phone to another mobile phone. Finnish Radiolinja became the first network to offer a commercial person-to-person SMS text messaging service in 1994. When Radiolinja's domestic competitor, Telecom Finland (now part of TeliaSonera) also launched SMS text messaging in 1995 and the two networks offered cross-network SMS functionality, Finland became the first nation where SMS text messaging was offered on a competitive as well as on a commercial basis. GSM was allowed[by whom?] in the United States and the radio frequencies were blocked and awarded to US "Carriers" to use US technology. Hence there is no "development" in the US in mobile messaging service. The GSM in the US had to use a frequency allocated for private communication services (PCS) – what the ITU frequency régime had blocked for DECT – Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications – 1000-feet range picocell, but survived. American Personal Communications (APC), the first GSM carrier in America, provided the first text-messaging service in the United States. Sprint Telecommunications Venture, a partnership of Sprint Corp. and three large cable-TV companies, owned 49 percent of APC. The Sprint venture was the largest single buyer at a government-run spectrum auction that raised $7.7 billion in 2005 for PCS licenses. APC operated under the brand name of Sprint Spectrum and launched its service on November 15, 1995 in Washington, D.C. and in Baltimore, Maryland. Vice President Al Gore in Washington, D.C. made the initial phone-call to launch the network, calling Mayor Kurt Schmoke in Baltimore.
