SMS (Short Message Services) from Computer to Mobile Phone
It is a method of communication that sends text from a computer to mobile phones. The "short" part refers to the maximum size of the text messages: 160 characters (letters, numbers or symbols in the Latin alphabet).

SMS is a store-and-forward service, meaning that when you send a text message to a friend, the message does not go directly to your friend's mobile phone. The advantage of this method is that your friend's mobile phone doesn't have to be active or in range for you to send a message. The message is stored until your friend turns his mobile phone on or moves into range, at which point the text message is delivered. The message will remain stored on your friend's SIM card until he deletes it.

In addition to person-to-person messages, SMS can be used to send a message to a large number of people at a time, either from a list of contacts that you stored in your address book or to all the users within a particular area. This service is called broadcasting simultaneously and is used by companies to contact groups of employees or by online services to distribute news and other up to date information to the subscribers.

Why 160 Characters?
SMS was designed to deliver short bursts of data such as numerical pages. To avoid overloading the system with more than the standard forward-and-response operation, the inventors of SMS agreed on a 160-character maximum message size.

But the 160-character limit is not absolute. Length limitations may vary depending on the network, phone model and wireless carrier. Some phones don't allow you to keep typing once the 160-character limit is reached. You must send your message before continuing. However, some services will automatically break any message you send into chunks of 160 characters or less. So, you can type and send a long message, but it will be delivered as several messages.
