What is SMS?

SMS stands for Short Message Service, commonly known as text messages. It allows users to send and receive messages via a support server.

Why Choose SMS?

There are several reasons why businesses rely on SMS services for their communications. Some of these include sending appointment reminders, sales promotions, special pricing alerts, emergency notifications, and other important messages. SMS is preferred for its simplicity and conversational nature. Unlike phone calls or emails, SMS doesn't require extensive formalities, and a simple "yes" or "no" is often enough. Additionally, sending, receiving, and replying to text messages is quick, whereas phone calls and emails may take more time.
