We all use SMS Words quite frequently. SMS (Short Messaging Service) is a technology that permits users to send text messages of around 150 characters between mobile phones. SMS has fast developed as a language all its own which youngsters enjoy using, while elders frown in disapproval. Since the messages have to be in minimal length and it is difficult to type on a phone keypad, SMS fans use a lot of abbreviations instead of full words. The common SMS Words and sentences are presented in the following pages. These short SMS Words will help you send messages in short period of time. You can create your own SMS Words and spread them among your friends and relatives so that you could use them more frequently and more usefully.
