Short messaging service is exactly what it sounds like. It is a text message sent or received to or from a mobile phone. SMS was introduced in the GSM system and later supported by all other digital-based mobile communications systems all around the world. The text messages are up to 160 characters in English alphabetic and 70 characters in non English alphabetic, and if a phone is out of coverage or turned off, the network holds the message until the phone comes back to service. Using SMS is easy. A person types a message on a phone (some phones have special dictionaries that make typing easier), specifies who is going to get the message, and sends it. |

There are a large number of short messages can be sent legitimately. They are only considered to be spam if they are sent without the prior consent of the recipient as unsolicited messages.
An increasing trend towards spamming cell phone users through SMS (short messaging service) has prompted cellular service carriers to take steps against the practice, before it becomes a widespread problem.
ORSMS reserves the right to suspend the account of any subscriber who does spamming cell phones at any time and without the prior notice. |
