Importance Of Using Sms To Communicate

By Armando Rodriguez


Since the inception of the SMS, communication has changed drastically over the past few decades. More and more people have come to use SMS and others have taken it to be their favorite means of communication. Some people cannot even remember when the last time they called someone as majority of the time they are texting. Using SMS has many advantages that make most people prefer them.

Instant delivery is probably the best reason why people use texts to communicate. Messages are sent so fast from the sender that it reaches the receiver almost instantly. This makes it easy for both parties to exchange messages without using up so much time. If an urgent situation arises, one can always count on a text.

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.

Texts are of great benefit when one has to send messages to many people since it allows for broadcast messages. Here you only need to select all the people you want your message to be delivered to, and send one general message to all. Therefore, one does not need to resend messages. In addition, one can also hold 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.

Reliability is another reason people prefer texting. In the case of emails, a message has to go through numerous spam filters and it might never be delivered. A text does not need to go through any barriers and reaches the receiver as fast as it was sent. Therefore, one can rely on texts to get their messages through.

The 160-character limit of a text is another one of the benefits. The limit makes people be clear and precise about what they are talking about. One does not need to go over large contents of words just to get an idea as it is in the case of emails. This therefore eliminates unnecessary conversation as people go straight to the point.

It has become a trend where media houses and TV shows engage their viewers. This is done by various ways such as phone calls and social media. However, text massaging is preferred due to its ability not to overload systems. Thus, these benefits make texting a preferred means of communication.
