What's the buzz

Over the last two decades, texting has become part of daily life. This week marks the 20th anniversary of SMS, or short message service. Can you still recall the first text message you sent or received? Do you have a memorable story related to texting? China Daily cellphone news readers share their stories with us.

The text messages that I still remember are those I sent to a girl in high school. We didn't have our own cellphones, I used my brother's and she used her father's, so the messages had to appear normal even though they were actually special to us. I can still feel the excitement and surprise when I received her texts.
