SMS has several advantages. It is more discreet than a phone conversation, making it the ideal form for communicating when you dont want to be overheard. It is often less time-consuming to send a text message than to make a phone call or send an e-mail. SMS is also a convenient way for deaf and hearing-impaired people to communicate. In addition to person-to-person messages, SMS can be used to send a message to a large number of people at a time, either from a list of contacts or to all the users within a particular area. This service is called BROADCASTING. You can use text messaging subscription services to get medication reminders sent to your phone, along with weather alerts, news headlines or even novels broken into 160-character chapters. Search engines such as Yahoo! and Google have short messaging services that enable users to get information such as driving directions, movie showtimes or local business listings just by texting a query to the search engines phone number.
