The First TXT Message Ever Sent

SMS was first used in December 1992, when Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old test engineer for Sema Group (now Airwide Solutions), used a personal computer to send the text message "Merry Christmas" via the Vodafone network to the phone of Richard Jarvis.


Who's surprised it didn't say, 'Happy Holidays' ?  



(I know it was sent from a computer but I couldn't help but use this awesome picture of this ancient cell phone).
