5. In 2010, sent messages are 6.1 trillion i.e.1,93,000 SMS/sec
Massive commercial industry earning $114.6 billion globally
SMS was originally designed as part of GSM, but is now
available on a wide range of networks, including 3G networks.

present as 1 long message.

12. Advantages
1) Texts can be sent to many people at once rather than just
one-on-one communication.
2) It is a store-and-forward service
3) No long distance charges for SMS, which are usually
charged per text message or paid for through an
unlimited subscription fee.
4) It is a communication platform for the deaf and hearing-
impaired.

13. Disadvantages
1. Pictures, video, sound, and other media are not supported.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), supports these larger
data transfers.
2. Some users also are charged per text message, which can
become expensive if sending hundreds of texts each month.

Editor's Notes
Concept developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert
First proposal for development of SMS was made by a contribution of Germany and France into the GSM group meeting in February 1985 in Oslo
The first SMS “Merry Christmas” was sent over the Vodafone GSM network in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1992.
Transmission between the SMSC and the handset is done using the Mobile Application Part (MAP) of the SS7 protocol
Capacity Upto 160 character (for latin language)
non-Latin alphabets (Chinese or Arabic), limit is 70 chars
long SMS can be sent using multiple messages with each User Data Header (UDH) containing segmentation information
Responsibility of receiving handset is to reassemble message & present as 1 long message.
Standard theoretically permits up to 6 to 8 segment messages
When person A sends an SMS to person B, the transmission occurs as shown in Figure 2. The Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is responsible for routing both voice telephone calls and SMS texts and the Visitor Location Register (VLR) is a database that temporarily store information about subscribers that have roamed into its jurisdiction, including the subscriber's identity number (IMSI), phone number (MSISDN), mobile station roaming number (MSRN), authentication data, and HLR address. The Home Location Register (HLR) is a permanent database that is used for the storage and management of subscription and service profiles. The Short Message Service Center (SMSC) is an element in the mobile phone network that is a store and forward service, which allows the message to reach the recipient even if his or her device is unavailable, out of service, or switched off. In addition to forwarding the text message to person B, an acknowledgement that the SMS has been successfully sent is relayed to person A
cAll data is transferred in a single DCCH SPACH packet
Anyone reading this must have used an online SMS sending website to send a couple of message to different phone numbers when running short of balance or were just too lazy to fetch the phone from the next room. If you have, then you already have experienced the magnificence of this technology, and if not, please go and do it now. A SMS is a short text message which can be sent over the wireless channel using certain standardized communication methods over the ‘Mobile Application Part’ (MAP) of the SS7 protocol. The GSM 7-bit alphabet encoding scheme limits the maximum payload length to 160 characters. There are a few ways in which the same message can be sent from a computer and we are going to discuss a few of them in the following discussion.
The first step to use any technology is, to have a motive. In case of PC based SMS, the motive may vary with the size of organization and the targeted audience base for the SMS. The two broad types of classifications of PC Based SMS technology can be inferred from the following diagram:
Appears directly on the main screen without user interaction and is not automatically stored in the inbox.
Silent msg- Employed to locate a person or to create a complete movement profile. They do not show up on a display, nor trigger an acoustical signal when received.

3)Because SMS operates on "best effort" delivery, text messages are not guaranteed to be sent and received.
Some providers allow users to request delivery reports, either via the SMS settings of most modern phones, or by prefixing each message with *0# or *N
