“Does everybody here know the alphabet? Let's text. Here it goes ... AbcDeFghiJKlmNoPQrStuvWXy & Z! Now I know my ABCs, next time you text with me? ”

The total is 155 characters with spaces, so the speed exceeds three characters per second. Of course, this is still very far from the Morse wave radio amateurs, who transmit the text in Morse code about twice as fast , but still not bad.
However, at the world championships for radio operators there is no sponsor like LG and the main prize is much less than $ 50 thousand. However, it makes sense for cell phone manufacturers to think about equipping phones with a special program for transmitting Morse code.
