Merits Of Using An SMS Service

By Jamal D White


The use of short messages has gained popularity among many people in the whole world. A report released in 2010 showed there was an average of 193,000 short messages passed around the world per every passing second and a total of 6.1 billion of SMS being used in that same year. The short message industry controls a huge amount of revenue annually. Of interest for you is perhaps to know what led to this tremendous growth in the SMS service industry. This is because of the factors discussed in the below section.

Short messages are instantly delivered. It takes approximately seven seconds for the message you have just sent to be received by the person in the other end of the spectrum. Although there are other swift methods of sending information, none of them beats the swiftness of short message services.

People are known by their nature to dilute information by mixing the information with unnecessary flavors. If you are using short message services, you only have 160 characters to pass that piece of information as accurately as possible. A part from the short message services helping you pass concise and precise message, they also enhance the accuracy with which you communicate and save on the time of other people.

The costs of sending short messages are relatively low as compared to making calls or sending postal letters. It is even more cost effective when you have to communicate with many people. If you were to call each person, you will not only feel exhausted after the calls but you will also have lost a lot of time as well as increasing your telephone bills.

Almost all short messages are opened and read. Only fractions of emails receive the attention of their recipients. This is because short messages offer a more personal relationship than an email. When both are used for commercial marketing, chances that an email will go without being opened are more than that of short messages.

Your recipient does not need to be within range to receive your message when using short message services. The message will be stored for them in the Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) until their cell phone becomes active after which the message will be delivered. SMSC will store the message as long as it is necessary and deliver it later when the subscriber the message is intended for becomes available.

Short messages will often come to your aid if you find yourself in situations that making a phone call may jeopardize the credibility of your presence in such gatherings. Alternatively, you may want to pass some confidential information but you do not feel comfortable doing so over a phone call because walls have ears too. Short messages assure you of your privacy in such situations.

Short messages are good way of keeping the records of your conversations. With phone calls, people can avoid taking responsibility for their words or instructions. You do not need to have such people troubling you yet you can store each conversation you had with them as long as it is necessary and use such for future references.
