Well the answer is no they are not the same, in fact two way messaging is used in combination with text messaging.

Text messaging is basically the activity of us indulging in sending text messages (SMS - Short Message Service) to another mobile subscriber. For example if you send your friend a message like "C u Later", through your cell phone, you are basically indulging in text messaging.

On the other hand when you send text messages to a short code and they reply back, you are actually getting involved in two way messaging.

An example of two way messaging is consider you see an advertise on television for a poll like "What is you favourite colour ? A-Blue B-Green C-Others, Send your reply POLL A or B or C to 1234."

Here 1234 is the short code to which you have to send your messages to. Consider you send the message "POLL A" to "1234", Most probably they will reply you back with say a message for saying thanks for participating etc. So that's why it is called two way, you send a message and get a reply back.

In normal text messaging on the other hand is just one way, you just send the message, you may or may not get a reply back.

What can you include in a paragraph about why text messaging has become so popular?

Some reasons text messaging is popular are: text messages can be sent and read at any time, the phone does not have to be online for it to receive a text message, and text messages can be sent when you cannot make a phone call. There may be other reasons that you could find. In a paragraph, you should give an example or two for each of the reasons. An example for sending them at any time might be while a friend is at an activity and is not available to answer the phone. Don't make the paragraph too long and word it so it is interesting to the readers.
