Former British prime minister Tony Blair sent his first SMS

I don’t know about you, but I always envisioned former British prime minister, Tony Blair, as a knowledgeable person. And while I still think so, I was kinda surprised to learn that roughly six months ago he got his first mobile phone, and just recently he sent his first SMS.

“When I lived at Downing Street I never had one. I got my first mobile the day I left,” said Blair, who is now a Middle East envoy.

“I sent an SMS to a friend, but given my lack of technological knowledge I didn’t realise the telephone hadn’t identified me as the sender. I got an SMS back saying: ‘But sorry, who are you?’”, Blair said.

Don’t worry about that, we don’t blame you Tony…
