Benefits Of Text Messaging Service

By Sally Delacruz


Sending texts, also known as short messaging, involves use of phones or PCs in sending, receiving and making short electronic messages on a number of phones, portable and fixed devices over a network . Text messaging service is organized in a way such that receiving messages when on another call is possible.

In ancient times, messages could not go beyond 160 characters, and occasionally, use of predictive technology was used making sending messages easier and more reliable on mobile phones that are not compatible with QWERTY and have few keys. Today, texting services have developed so much; information can now be sent as still pictures, moving pictures, recorded sounds and MMS. When sending messages, ensure you space the words.

Its usually used among private cell phone users as a substitute for voice mails; in circumstances where interaction is impossible and difficult. Group conversation enables many people to engage in sending and receiving short messages. This is efficient for remote control of appliances.

Flash sms is another type of messaging which is commonly used by people when they do not have enough airtime to alert others to text or call them back. Flashing is also used in emergencies like the alarms involved in fire fighting. Texts are also used in many countries as reminders of health center appointments.This is as a result of sms being effective and quick in being delivered. It has cut down the number of missed psychiatric appointments by around 26%. Appointments with the sick are always programmed in mental hospital services.

Texts gateway suppliers ensure continuous sms traffic among cell subscribers and entrepreneurs. They are specifically responsible for commissioning critical text messages for businesses and entertainment services entailing voting by television. They are, therefore, very important in this sector.

Direct text marketing is used by product promoters and service providers to text people who use mobile phones in product promotion and payment of rates due for payment. With automated systems, it is easy to interact with the texts. They can order products and participate in contests.

Call-fire Services is one of the leading text message advertising companies, and it streamlines the order in which people send many texts.

Individuals are only able to send messages when they have loaded their sim cards with enough airtime. The rates of sending the messages relies on the company whose services are being used. Rates differ from network to network. Messaging from one network to another is relatively expensive as contrasted to when messaging is within same networks. Same networks can put their charges at one text for one dollar while different networks may charge two or even five dollars per sms.

Without subscriptions, an individual can send messages at rates of one short message at one dollar depending on the network she or he is sending to. For instance, sending messages to a different network from the one you are using may be expensive compared to when sending to the same network. Some times, it may be cheaper depending on the companies offering the services. The location of somebody can also determine the charges. An example is the charges for sending a short message from a country to another; it is relatively expensive as compared to sending within a country.
