On this date in 1992, a test engineer for the Sema Group sends the


world's first text message, using a personal computer and the Vodafone network.

(for those, like me, who knew not of the Vodaphone, this from wiki:

"Vodafone Group Plc is a British multinational telecommunications company. Its registered office and global headquarters are in Newbury, Berkshire, England. It predominantly operates services in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Oceania.

"As of November 2020, Vodafone owns and operates networks in 22 countries, with partner networks in 48 further countries. Its Vodafone Global Enterprise division provides telecommunications and IT services to corporate clients in 150 countries.")
