Cell Phones and Texting

What is it?

Texting

  • Short Message Service (SMS), more commonly known as text messaging, allows users to communicate with other users through brief, typed text.
  • Multimedia Message Service (MMS), an extension of text messaging, allows users to send messages that include multimedia content such as pictures, videos, text pages and ringtones.
  • These messages can be easily deleted, leaving no trace of the message sent, or saved and distributed by other users.

Most cell phones also allow users to connect to the Internet permitting them to access the same applications as they are able to from a personal computer.
