This is not true. While the usage of SMS may be more prevalent in Europe and
especially Asia, I have had SMS on my TDMA ( AT&T) mobile phone since 1999.
I believe it is also available on CDMA networks. Of course (being a New
Yorker), I don't have the patience to use it. In the time it takes me to
address and type a cryptic message, I could make three phone calls and have
dinner...!
