The world's first SMS sold for more than 1 lakh USD

The world's first SMS was sent on December 3, 1992, 29 years ago. The Christmas season was going on. On that day, 22-year-old engineer Neil Papworth sent the message to Vodafone manager Richard Jarvis. The 15-letter message was, "Merry Christmas."

According to Reuters, the message was sold on Tuesday for 121,000 USD as a "non-fungible token" or NFT.

The auction was organized by an auction house in Paris. UK's Vodafone company calls for that auction.

There is a lot of noise about NFT in the online world right now. Interchangeable virtual elements are called NFTs or non-fungible tokens. It's a more like to Bitcoin. The only difference is that each NFT is unique. That is why it is sold at such a high price. NFT is being purchased as a digital asset since 2016.

Maximilian Agutes, head of development at the Agutas auction house, said: Two Vodafone executives were in the middle of a year-end event. So they sent the message saying "Marry Christmas".

The buyer will receive a copy of the original SMS communication protocol. The money will be donated to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
