What was the first text message ever sent to a cellphone?

• Merry Christmas:On December 3, 1992, Neil Papworth, a 22 year old Canadian test engineer sent the first text message over the Vodafone GSM network to the cellphone of his colleague Richard Jarvis who was enjoying a staff Christmas party. The message simply read “Merry Christmas”. Since mobile phones didn't yet have keyboards, he typed the holiday greeting out on a personal computer, while the recipient, Vodafone's director Richard Jarvis, received the message on a bulky Orbitel 901 cellphone.
