History of SMS

The concept of this SMS was first developed by Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984.  It was developed by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert.

The first text message was sent in 1992 by Neil Papworth, a former developer at Sema Group Telecoms.  There were no keyboards in mobile phones then, so Papworth has to type the message into PC. Papworth's first text was "Merry Christmas" - which he successfully sent to Richard Jarvis in Vodafone.
