In India SMS and Test Messaging are just the two name for same thing. So the rate are same for both.

could be that SMS is implemented by native service provider
setup.
text messaging somewhat implies use of internet
so i wud hazard a guess that it uses GPRS so probably cheaper

Here in YU, SMS & Text messages are the same thing, they cost 3.5 csd on my network. But... Perhaps Text messages are sent via GPRS (my Siemens MC60 has the option to send SMS via GPRS)... I personaly don't use this feature, as it costs hell of a lot more then regular SMS...

I suggest you call customer service, and ask them about it, as we can only guess what is the difference, if tere is any...

P.S.
SMS costs 1 pound? Price for sending SMS here is 0.03 pounds! One minute of phone conversation costs 0.13 pounds... Wow, is England expensive, or what? wink.gif

SMS (Simple Messaging Service) and Text Messaging are same.

But with the rates that Becca is quoting, she must be mentioning MMS and Text Messaging. MMS is Multimedia Messaging Service.

It is relatively expensive, but you send pictures and audio clips to another MMS compatible phone.

I think Becca is in England. So someone form England who is using the same mobile phone service as her should be able to answer this question. The attmpts of all others seems to be futile!

well, SMS is short messaging service, it is SHORT. In text messaging there is no word of SHORT which means you can send text without limit on how much character could you send. And once more, SMS has itself networking engine on the SIM provider, which arranger the traffic of SMS only not text message...

And the conclusion is..

I still don't get the meaning of this thread... tongue.gif

Well, SMS stands for Short Message Service, and as far as I know, it should be exactly the same as a text message. wink.gif

Summary of topic
- SMS is the same as Text Message, text message being used as a slang term for sms.

- the only other service is MMS, which is the sending of audio and pictures.

MMS can send more characters than sms, though it costs more.
