The Short Message Service (SMS), also known as text messaging, is evolving from a fun way of communicating to a widely accepted method of business communication. SMS messages are made up of header information and a series of characters not to exceed 160 characters. Although the popularity of text messaging is well established in many countries, in others, such as the US, interest in the thumb-driven phenomenon has only recently skyrocketed. It is evident from data reporting SMS trends that text messaging is becoming a widely used communication mechanism.
