Text was invented in the late 1980's by a group of Europeans developing standards for data additions to GSM

A 44-year-old father of one, Pearson is the man who invented text messaging (he's not alone in this claim, but insists he arrived at it independently of the competition).

These are just google searches lol

Al Gore did it shortly after inventing the interweb

The United States Goverment did.

Texting is nothing more then e-mail.

You remember modems like 400 Baud where you had to Dial-Up to the BBS or News Groups. Samething but its in mobile phone now.

nope, anything over 160 characters is an email. 160 and below is a text message //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

edit, thats why your phone breaks up msgs at 160 characters.

During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

Thats a phone company provider doing that to charge more!

E-mail has the same limits. Remember on news groups. You had to break the application up and post it in several sections.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I know all these IM's came from echoing on a Novel network to your buddies.

I actually have never text messeged anyone before and I even had the feature on one of my cell phones. Well paid feature. Just never needed to use it. I have gotten text messeges before, but I just usually called them back, lol!
