Sent digital message
Texted is the past tense of text, meaning to send a written message electronically, typically via mobile phone: She texted me the address.
The word emerged with SMS technology in the 1990s and quickly became standard despite initial resistance to verbing the noun.
I texted him back but never heard anything.
