First SMS sold as NFT for €107,000 at auction

The first SMS ever sent, reading 'Merry Christmas', was sold as an NFT for €107,000 at an auction organized by Aguttes. The message was sent on December 3, 1992, by Vodafone engineer Neil Papworth from a computer to a mobile phone. The sale was a collaboration between Vodafone, the legal owner, and Aguttes. The buyer remains anonymous. Proceeds will be donated to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. The SMS, originally a test of text-based communication using existing service signals, marked the beginning of a global telecommunications revolution.
