What is SMS?

SMS service. SMS stands for Short Message Service. It's basically a pager function in your mobile phone. All modern phones support SMS. It allows a person or an automated system to send a text message that can be read and stored on a mobile phone. You can even reply to the message and it will go back to the sender. You never have to type on those tiny keyboards again!

Why use SMS?

SMS is everywhere, on every phone. It is a very reliable and extremely cost effective. Many organizations are still making outcalls to their staffs/customers mobiles. This is costing the organization an average of $1.50 per call, more if it goes to voicemail. Most of these phone calls can be handled by a simple SMS which cost about as much as the flag fall on a mobile phone call! We have seen cases where a 3 day job of ringing staff has been reduced to 30 minutes!

What about Security?
