SMS
SMS (Short Message Service) or text messaging is a communication service standardized in the GSM mobile communication system. SMS is the most popular data application on the planet and is increasing its usage in line with the growth in mobile penetration.

SMS can send 160 characters to and from GSM mobile handsets, and it has been expanding to other technologies such as CDMA. Most SMS messages are person-to-person (P2P), however the developed mobile markets are expanding usage in application-to-person (A2P) and person-to-application (P2A), mainly in enterprise applications, such as mobile check-in & boarding passes, dynamic passwords & mTANs, incident alerts, mobile content delivery, downloads & sharing, among many other areas.
