No. The very first SMS text message was 'Merry Christmas' sent by engineer Neil Papworth to his colleagues at Vodaphone, UK, on 3 December 1992.

Texting did not become popular until 1999 when it became possible to send texts from one mobile service to another. Up to then you could only send texts to others using the same phone operator.
