Text Messaging

Definition:

Text messaging refers to sending short text messages from a mobile phone to other mobile phone users using the SMS standard. This is becoming an increasingly popular form of communication outside of the United States. This is due to the economics of text messaging versus being online. Key advantages of text messaging (versus being online) include a user's ability to text people independent of computer access, rather than only being able to communicate when logged onto the internet, it's less intrusive than a phone call, and it is less expensive than a phone call. Text messaging is a form of asynchronous communication.
