This Christmas message was received by Richard on his R-Beatle 901 cell phone. However, the original SMS will be saved on the phone. But a copy, a communications commission protocol, and a digital frame will also be provided. In which 3D animation can be seen as animated. An anonymous buyer paid for it in Ethereum cryptocurrency, as NFTs are bought and sold in cryptocurrency. 

The story of SMS is very interesting because they were working on a revolutionary program of digital messaging, which was to send messages from phone to other phone or from computer to cell phone. Neil Papworth also sent this message to Vodafone, which later proved to be a revolution. 

Neil says that in 1992, he had no idea how the SMS would reach what degree, nor did he have any idea about emoji and 3D animation. 

What are NFTs? 

The digital files act as digital signatures to certify who owns online media. 

Creating an NFT is generally done on the Ethereum blockchain network. Blockchain is a public digital ledger of transactions that are duplicated as well as distributed across the entire network of computing systems on the blockchain.
