	A Brief on Short Message Service (SMS) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		To work on a physical level, SMS messaging is dependent on a couple of basic entities such as short message entity (SME) that originates or receives the message and SMC Center that receives, stores and forwards messages.
		The telephone number of the sender of the message is automatically attached with the message itself and thereby facilitates the receiver to know who the sender is and to send a reply.
		Messaging can be done using different channels to support longer and more flexible sizes that allow different kinds of content to be transferred over the same service/bearer such as video clips and graphics and thus the popularity of messaging - whether text, picture or multimedia - will continue to go ahead.
