What is an SMS
The definition of the term SMS or Short Message Service is a service for sending short text messages
to mobile phones.
Each SMS can be up to 160 characters long (where each character is 7 bits according to the 7-bit default alphabet)
when Latin alphabets are used, and 70 characters in length when non-Latin alphabets such as Arabic and Chinese are used. The message is buffered by the GSM network until the phone becomes active.
