20 years of SMS
  Did you know that SMS is 20 years old? The first text message was sent on December 3,
  1992 in the UK. Real-time charging systems played a key role in helping mobile telephony
  – and SMS – take off; the systems allowed operators to offer prepaid subscriptions that
  deducted credits as services were used. The same technology is used today in both prepaid
  and postpaid subscriptions to handle a wide range of services including mobile broadband.




2012
                          More than 2 billion subscriptions are served by
                          Ericsson charging and billing solutions. After voice,
                          SMS is the service used most.
