World's first SMS goes up for auction as NFT

Vodafone (NASDAQ:), today will offer for sale a NFT (non-fungible token) that represents the first global SMS text message. Vodafone (NASDAQ:) will auction off the NFT token that represents the first SMS text message sent by the world’s largest refugee organisation, UNHCR. Neil Papworth’s 15-character SMS message “Merry Christmas”, sent to Richard Jarvis by Vodafone in December 1992. Jarvis was present at Jarvis’ corporate Christmas party. The other networks would have to wait for nine more years before receiving and sending SMS like Vodafone.

Expect NFTs to be sold for as high as $200,000 with Ether being the second most popular cryptocurrency. You will also receive a digital picture frame that depicts the first SMS in the world and an animation 3D of it as a digital copy for your customer.

Aguttes is a Paris-based auction house that has taken on the task of selling this “landmark part of history” and hopes to attract international buyers.

These technologies have forever changed the lives of people around the world and how they communicate with each other, such as the printing press and telephone calls. Maximilian Aguttes (the founder of Maximilian Aguttes Auction Company) noted that the initial text message he received in 1992 was “historical evidence of human and technical progress.”
