What is SMS (Short Message Service)?
SMS (Short Message Service) is a service for sending messages of up to 160 characters (224 characters if using a 5-bit mode) to mobile phones that use Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication. GSM and SMS service is primarily available in Europe, U.S and Asia. SMS is similar to paging. However, SMS messages do not require the mobile phone to be active and within range and will be held for a number of days until the phone is active and within range.
SMS messages are transmitted within the same cell or to anyone with roaming service capability. They can also be sent to digital phones from a Web site equipped with PC Link or from one digital phone to another. Typical uses of SMS include:
Notifying a mobile phone owner of a voicemail message
Notifying a salesperson of an inquiry and contact to call
Notifying a doctor of a patient with an emergency problem
Notifying a service person of the time and place of their next call
Notifying a driver of the address of the next pickup
An SMS gateway is a Web site that lets you enter an SMS message to someone within the cell served by that gateway or that acts as an international gateway for users with roaming capability.
