4BC Breakfast: It's 20 years since the world's first SMS was sent - and it said simply "Merry Christmas". The man who sent it was British engineer Neil Papworth. He tells Peter and Mary from 4BC Breakfast about the historic moment.

  • What's an SMS?
    Is it a selfish SOS.
    I like replying to text messages with CB slang.
    It confuses the hell out of the young ones.
    Thats a big 10-4 good buddy.
    Catch you on the flipside.
    Keep your shiny side up and your sticky side down.
    Anyway I gotta go 10-200.
