SMS (Short Message Service) is a communications system which exchanges short text messages between
mobile telephone devices. The SMS facilitates the development and growth of text messaging.
Messages are sent to a Short Message Service Centre which provides a store-and-forward mechanism. It
attempts to send messages to their recipients. If a recipient is not reachable, the SMSC queues the message for later
retry. Some SMS centres also provide a forward and forget option where message delivery is tried only once. Message
delivery is best effort, so there are no guarantees that a message will actually be delivered to its recipient. Delay or
complete loss of a message is not uncommon, particularly when sending between networks. Users may choose to
request delivery reports, which can provide confirmation that the message has reached the intended recipient.
The maximum single text message size is either 160 7-bit characters, 140 8-bit characters, or 70 16-bit
characters. Characters in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Slavic languages (e.g. Russian) must be
encoded using the 16-bit UCS-2 character encoding.
Larger content (known as long SMS or multipart or segmented SMS) can be sent using multiple messages, in
which case each message will start with a user data header (UDH) containing segmentation information. Long messages
are often billed as equivalent to multiple SMS messages.

28. What does SMS technology do to facilitate people to communicate with others?
a. It exchanges short text messages between mobile phone
b. It streams video to television
