20 years ago, a software programmer in Berkshire, UK started something that even two decades later it hasn't lost its charm. On 3rd December 1992 Neil Papworth sent the world's first SMS to his buddy Richard Jarvis from Vodafone who was at that time enjoying an office Christmas party. The message was a simple 'Merry Christmas'.
Since back in 1992 those brick-sized mobiles didn't have any keyboard, the SMS was sent via Papworth's PC to Jarvis' mobile. Initially Vodafone intended to introduce this service as an internal office thing allowing its employees to communicate with each other in a fun and of course convenient way.
