The idea of adding text messaging to the services of mobile users was not frequent in many communities of mobile communication services at the beginning of the 1980s. The first action plan of the CEPT Group GSM, approved in December 1982. The SMS concept was developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert. SMS was originally designed as part of GSM, but is now available on a wide range of networks, including 3G networks. However, not all text messaging systems use SMS.

As the telecom industry grows in Pakistan and all over the world. The Telecom service providers offer cheap and flexible SMS Packages. Globally, SMS is used by Four Billion users who sent Five trillion (5,000,000,000,000) messages in 2009 approximately 105 sms per person per month.

According to ITU, theglobe is currently earning 14,000 dollars every second from SMS that is, assuming an average cost of USD 0.07per SMS, in 2010 SMS traffic is generating an estimated USD 812 000 every minute or around USD 14 000every second.

In the year 2008/09, Pakistan had the largest text messaging growth in Asia pacific. In Pakistan, 151.6385 Billion text messaging exchanged during the year 2009, generating a revenue of Rs. 40.76 Billion. The SMS traffic is exchanged at a rate of 27 Paisa (Rs. 027) per SMS in the year 2009. All theoperators have offered very attractive SMS-bundle packages. Approximately 80% of the total SMStraffic is exchanged over bundle packages and rest 20% on flat rate of Rs.1/sms. An average bundledpackage of 700-SMS/ Month is approximately for Rs. 60. According to these two rates, the revenuefor SMS-traffic is calculated to be approximately 40.76 Billion.

Conclusion:

Round the Globe SMS has progressively become a major application to drive the development of themobile data market, and the mobile operators are streaming in quite handsome revenues varying up to30% from SMS traffic. But to sustain growth over the next few years, the operators should put moreemphasis on the social-networking applications lucrative flat rate promotions, enhanced WAPapplications, introducing innovative push, pull and commerce features, utilization of location basedservices, introduction of very liberal third party, also working where possible with popular establishedsocial-networking sites etc to drive SMS traffic.Advertising seems to have attractive potential driver for SMS traffic, and it demands the operators tosupport the end-to-end campaign management and reporting requirements of media buyers andadvertisers.Our country, despite its low income, seems to be most ready for 3G and other broadband applicationsbecause of its subscriber’s agility and adeptness in using their mobile phones for data applications.Some experts foresee the texting (160 character message) to die out with coming of 3G but Yet,unless costs of service and handsets go down, texting, up to some extent will remain the main mode of communication for many Pakistanis

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has directed cellular mobile operators to take all possible measures for the verifications of SIMS of their subscribers within specified time period through “SIM information System 668”. In this regard, mobile operators are launching a massive campaign to rectify the inaccuracies in the data of mobile users’ antecedents. They are running awareness campaigns through media and will send SMS to the subscribers asking them to get their SIMs identity corrected from the Customer Service Centers (CSC) of concerned mobile operators. All unverified and unregistered SIMs shall be blocked by May 17, 2011.

PTA had introduced “SIM information System 668” for the verification of mobile SIMs. Through this service subscriber can send his CNIC to 668 through SMS and in return he would receive detail of total SIMs against his CNIC alongwith name of the mobile company. In case there is any discrepancy, the user would visit CSC to get the data corrected. If he does not get his SIM cleared it would be blocked by May 17, 2011. This is part of PTA efforts to block all illegal SIMs and clean the data of mobile users.

It may be added that while continuing its campaign against unnamed and unregistered SIMs and during phase 1 and phase 2, PTA has blocked total 16.3 million unregistered SIMs. After introduction of “789 SIM Activation System” in February 2009, only non activated SIMs are available in the market. 3.8 million SIM activation requests have so far been rejected on the basis of incorrect information. New SIMs are activated through this online verification system from NADRA after identification of legitimate users by asking secret questions such as place of birth etc.

PTA along with mobile operators also taking measures to resolve the issue of mobile handsets working on duplicate IMEI. PTA would follow the policy guidelines of the government on it.
