In general, SMS (Short Message Service) refers to a short message service that can send and receive short messages between mobile phone subscribers. This SMS service is a public network when a digital mobile phone subscriber sends a short sentence to another mobile phone subscriber in Korean or English. You can also receive messages via a data communications network or the Internet. In other words, it is a service method of transmitting a short message (SMS) at high speed from a PC connected through a TCP / IP network or a dedicated line, or to a mobile phone user connected to a mobile communication network (Cellular, PCS). The SMS service allows a digital mobile phone subscriber to send a short sentence in Korean or English words to another mobile phone subscriber to receive a message through a public telephone network, a communication network, or the Internet. And, the SMS is connected to the Internet to send a message to the terminal, the total of 80 bytes of text transmission possible (80 English characters, 40 Korean characters), unlike the e-mail, the contents are delivered almost simultaneously with the time of sending. In addition, such an SMS attempts to transmit a message repeatedly until the call is available even when the mobile phone is turned off or in an area where the call is not possible. The transmission of the SMS is stored in the Short Message Center (SMC) of the mobile communication network. Is transmitted to the user terminal. These SMSs were initially started for data communication, but are increasingly being used for providing various information and payment methods for electronic commerce. Recently, it has evolved into a multimedia message service (MMS) that can send and receive photo pictures, videos, etc. from text-based services.
