U.S. Carriers Agree to Enhanced Messaging Standards and Features

I've often wondered when something better and more intuitive was going to come along and replace SMS as we know it...thank god this has finally come to light...finally we will know if someones phone is on and has network connectivity to receive a message, finally we will know that a message has been read (for when you text flakey people) and most importantly thank the lord we will have more than 160 characters to work with. This is awesome news!!! This is probably the most welcomed feature since polyphonic ringtones 😛 Thank you Phonescoop this was a great early Christmas present!!!

This should eliminate 😳 "Geez, I never got your text yesterday. Oh wait! here it comes now!" 😁
