Tekstiviesteille

Tekstiviesteille, often referred to as SMS (Short Message Service), are text-based messages sent between mobile phones. This technology allows for brief communication, typically limited to 160 characters per message. SMS was a foundational element of early mobile communication, enabling users to send and receive short, concise updates and messages without the need for voice calls.

The development of SMS can be traced back to the 1980s, with the first text message sent in 1992. Over the years, it became a ubiquitous form of communication, particularly popular for quick confirmations, reminders, and informal conversations. While modern smartphones offer a wide array of communication apps, SMS remains a widely supported and accessible method, often serving as a fallback when data connectivity is unavailable. Its simplicity and broad compatibility have ensured its continued relevance in the digital age, functioning independently of internet access.
