I had expected that many people would have answered this one. It is
"Short Message Service". This is a feature available on most or all
GSM mobile (cell) phones. It is also commonly called "text". It
allows you to send short (usually <= 160 characters) messages from one
mobile phone to another. It is very popular in Europe and Asia but it
does not seem to be popular in the USA.
