How many people remember the first GSM mobiles. Most did not support text. In fact I am fairly certain texts were an engineers tool and not meant for us. My first mobile (an Ericcson) could receive but not send texts. Then they realised there was money to be made.
The Nokia 2110 of the time could send texts BTW:

A bit of a brick... compare it to my small e51 or even a Motorola Droid X come to that!
