Importance Of Using Sms To Communicate

By Armando Rodriguez


The SMS is probably the single most influential way to communicate with other people. It has really shaped communication as many people have turned to the texting platform. Other forms of communication have seen a drastic fall in their use since many people prefer texts due to their advantages.

Using this service, one can deliver messages almost instantly. It takes a matter of a few seconds for service providers to relay a message from a sender to a receiver. This property makes it useful as people can chat for long periods without using much time thus giving value for time in their conversation. This can be especially useful for urgent messages.

It is also a good way for a person to stay discreet. If one makes a phone call, his conversation can be overheard and this can leak some personal and sensitive information. However, using the short message service, one can communicate confidential information without the fear of being overheard. In addition, this prevents one from making noise disturbances especially in an office setting.

Unlike other forms of communication where you can only communicate to one person at a time, short messages allow one to send messages to many people simultaneously. This is known as broadcasting of a message. This thus prevents a person from re-writing the same message as one can serve all. In addition, one can also uphold many conversations at the same time.

many people who open up their email accounts do not even read the emails. This can be attributed to the lazy option of 'mark as read' since many people are just too lazy to go over their emails. Texting however, has a high open rate and it is common to see many people pick up their phones to read a text after it rings or vibrates. This statistic is especially useful in marketing.

In emails, messages are usually taken through a system of filters that may prevent it from being delivered. Text messages on the other hand can have no barriers whatsoever and a text is delivered as soon as it is sent. Therefore, one does not have to worry about the delivery of a message and can rely on texts. This reliability makes the text messages to be preferred.

The clarity and precision of text messages is also another advantage of texts. This can be largely attributed to the 160- character limit. This can be especially helpful if your friends are very talkative. One does not need to go over a lot of unnecessary information, as they go straight to the point. This is in contrast to emails where one must go over a lot of content just to get the idea.

Texts also have the amazing benefit of not overloading systems unlike phone calls. This has made them to be preferred by many companies that have limited systems. Media houses, radio stations and TV shows have also turned to using text messages as a way to get opinions from their viewers. All these benefits combined show why text messaging is the best way to communicate with friends and family.
