What is a "text message"?
A text message is a short written communication sent from one phone to another. It typically consists of simple text, though it can also include emojis or links. Text messages are usually sent through SMS (Short Message Service) or MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), allowing users to send information quickly and efficiently. Text messaging is popular for both personal and business communication, as it is fast, convenient, and does not require the recipient to be available for a phone call. Many mobile phones and messaging apps also allow group texting, enabling multiple people to receive and reply to messages.
