Importance Of Using Sms To Communicate

By Armando Rodriguez


Use of SMS has increased to become one of the most important tools in the communication industry. Communication would literally be crippled if it were removed as many people rely on texting for getting their messages through. It is almost becoming a habit, as most people tend to use texts than any other form of communication. This can be attributed to the many benefits they have that keep people hooked to sending texts.

Texting is superfast as messages take very little time to be delivered. One does not have to wait for hours on end to have their messages delivered as their texts are received almost instantly. Time is really an important factor, this makes it possible for people to text simultaneously, and it is an added bonus if the messages are important.

The text message also tends to be more discreet than other forms of communication. For example, it is more likely for people to hear your conversation over the phone but no one will notice a text. This can reduce the likelihood of confidential information leaking. It is also of convenience since you do not have to pick up a call in uncomfortable places.

Sometimes companies or individuals may want to send a general message to very many people. They can however be limited, as most forms of communication allow only one person at a time. Short messages make up for this gap of service as they have a broadcast option. This means you only have to select all your intended contacts and send one general message or engage them all in simultaneous conversations.

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.

Spam filters have helped many people get rid of those annoying emails and additional filters have been made so that the most relevant emails reach them. This however, has a flip side as sometimes important messages are filtered away. This is in contrast to texts, which do not have any barriers, or filters in their way and this property makes it very reliable.

There are people who are very talkative and say many unnecessary things This are also the type of people who dump emails that are just too wordy and never really get straight to the point. However, when you use texts, a 160-character limit ensures people only say what is important.

Companies have also incorporated the use of texts into their systems. This is because texts do not overload systems as much as phone calls do. It is common nowadays to see TV shows interact with their viewers using text messages to give their opinions and views.
