Communication is an innate aspect of humans. People need to communicate to each other on a daily basis. That’s why there’s a growing number of mobile phone user’s all around the globe. There are instances that having a voice call would be unnecessary or impractical. For example calling around 100 sales force for an emergency meeting would be better done with Short Messages Service (SMS). This is somewhere in between a voice call and an email.

In my experience it would be cost effective to communicate through web SMS and even on the office it’s more practical to use an pc sms messenger rather than a phone. The advantage would be that people could go over the message again and again if needed without having to ask the person again. This improves communication in the office.

SMS have evolved much to allow a variety of communication channels. There’s SMS messenger from PC to PC software like YM, Google Talk, MSN which I find useful in communicating with family, friends and office colleagues. Email SMS is one of those SMS applications that sends SMS to a mobile phone or computer SMS messenger client. Another important application is the functionality to get alerts via SMS from server monitoring software. The possibility of SMS application in communication is as wide as you could imagine. There will be more future developments in these area where Internet and telecommunication services converge.
