Re: Letters with **three** cases?

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

Actually, sending longer messages is no pain at all: the phone just splits whatever you wrote to small enough component parts (and of course, the phone company takes the charge of so-and-so many messages).

It is very popular in Europe and Asia but it
does not seem to be popular in the USA.

Wow, cultural dissonance. I hate talking on the phone, so when I was at last forced to have a mobile phone myself, I got used to sending mostly SMS's. (Now it's my favourite pastime when having a beer or two alone in a pub. Annoys my friends no measure but keeps me occupied :-))
