It was 25 years ago, on December 3, 1992, that the English software engineer Neil Papworth used his computer to send a message to Vodafone director Richard Jarvis.

The message simply read “Merry Christmas” but it became known as the first SMS message ever sent, because Jarvis received the slightly premature Christmas greetings on his clunky Orbitel 901 cell phone.

It took a while for text messages to really take off, but in the early 2000s texting really hit the mainstream and became a very lucrative side business for mobile carriers around the world. At the time, operators typically charged a fee of $0.10 to $0.20 per SMS, which, considering the 160 character limit, quickly piled up for more chatty users.

As our chart illustrates, text messaging in the United States peaked in 2011, when U.S. cell phone users sent a total of 2.3 trillion messages, up from 159 billion five years earlier. Over the past few years however, the popularity of text messages, at least in the form of SMS, has been gradually waning. These days, smartphone users mainly text each other using free SMS alternatives such as iMessage, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp and the SMS may not live to see its 30th birthday.
