Find Out Why Text Message Is Limited To 160 Characters by Bevisotega(m): 6:30pm On Oct 11, 2015 |
Have you ever wondered why a text message is limited to 160 characters? It was back in 1985,there was this guy named FRIEDHEIM HILLEBRAND, who was the chairman of the non-voice services committee within the Global System for mobile communications (G.S.M), a group that sets standards for the majority of the Global mobile market. This guy had the task of setting the limit on the amount of characters a text mesage could contain. To do this, FRIEDHEIM sat at his typewriter, typing out random sentence and questions on a plain sheet of paper to see what the average amount of characters he used was. He found that each set of sentences, ran under 160 CHARACTERS IN LENTH. Cheers and be remarkable! UP SMS 247 TEAM +2348069297141
