By Amy Lee


Mobile phones have revolutionized the way many people communicate in just over a decade. Initially mobile phones were only cable of displaying digits and making calls over great distances. The phones themselves were hardly mobile. However over the recent years we've seen the mobile phones become more compact and more sophisticated. Text messaging was another revolutionary addition to mobile phones. Text messaging eliminated the need to call others and simply allowed you to send a text message with 500 characters. This feature eliminated the need for calling friends and families to relay simple messages. Text message also used templates for sending simple messages such as "stuck in traffic" or "busy will call back later".

Other features such as MMS or multimedia texting are widely used to send images and audio files via text message. This is an additional feature and has to be enabled via the user's provider. Texting and MMS have become a vital part of any phone. It is now considered as a basic feature even in the simplest phones. Many sites also offer free texting services to certain telecommunication providers. Www.textcanada.ca is a site that offers registered users to send text messages of certain character limit to people in Canada. This site is one of many sites that offer this service. By looking and researching on the internet people can find affordable ways of texting their families and friends over the internet.

There are currently many phones on the market that aimed at text messaging. These phones generally come with ease to use keypads such as the QWERTY keypad and the touch screen keyboards. Both these features allow people to easily send text messages. Newer models also allow text messages to be sent to IM managers such as msn messenger and G-talk. These features are trying to bridge the gap between mobile communication and internet communication.

Due to the rapid development in the mobile phone industry it has become obvious that text messaging is a preferred form of communication. New keypads such as QWERTY keypad and the touch pads are popular. The android phone market makes it even easier for user to text message.
