A Short Message Service (SMS) message is also known as a "text message" because it is similar to an email but a lot shorter. An SMS template is a ready-made SMS message that is used to make sending text messages that have the same content easier. Basically SMS templates allow senders to save time and avoid having to type the same data over and over again. iPhones don't have SMS template capabilities like other phones do, but it is still possible to create an SMS template for your iPhone without using a third-party application.
