sms
Brief digital missives
Sms is an informal verb meaning to send a text message: I'll sms you the address.
This usage, derived from the acronym SMS, appears more commonly in British English and other varieties than in American English, where "text" dominates as the verb. (Uppercase SMS is the messaging system.)
