Hi PaddleWisenheimers,

I have been recently writing a story about a long trip I made with some of
my paddling pals last summer.

We did most of our communication with friends and relatives with cell
phones, but to avoid battery running low, we exchanged short text messages
(max. 160 letters, called SMS). The phones were open daily only for several
minutes, which proved to be a very safe way to keep them running for more
than a week without reloading...

The story is going to be published in English, and unfortunately, I do not
know the exact term for SMS... SimpleMindS? SimplyMouthShut?
