SMS stands for Short Message Service a special digital text service for wireless phones. Although it’s neither a German word nor a German idea, the Germans have taken to SMS in greater numbers than any other country. So far, about three-quarters of a million German mobile phone users have become SMS fans and an entire SMS-industry has popped up in Germany over the past few years.
There are SMS Web sites in various languages that provide both free and fee-based SMS services, allowing customers to send a text message of up to 160 characters that displays on the screen of a wireless phone. Typing on most cell phones is a rather awkward task, these online SMSs, particularly in Germany, have become popular by offering ready made messages that can be sent via the Internet with just a few key clicks. European wireless phone users do not pay for incoming calls or messages; the caller pays. A typical SMS costs from 10 to 20 euro cents. But the real solution may be spoken SMS: Samsung has released a cell phone for Cingular that can send text messages from speech!
