What is SMS?
SMS
is an acronym for Short Message Service. SMS is a facility by which
you can send and receive small alphanumeric messages between
cellular phones. It can also be used to transfer binary payloads and
to put into practice the WAP stack atop the SMSC bear. SMS can be
used in any language, but that more or less depends on the handset
that you are using and which language your area software supports.
For e.g. English, Spanish, and Portuguese are the languages
usually used in SMSs in America whereas in Europe it differs
greatly.

Advantages of SMS
Short message service,
known as SMS and used mainly in Europe and Asia, has become an
extremely popular way of sending personal messages. However, SMS
also has several applications in the corporate environment:

-
To issue immediate
alerts about emergencies and critical situations, for example,
to alert a network administrator as soon as the Internet link is
down
-
To send important
information to key customers or suppliers, thereby ensuring that
the information is received by the right person, immediately
-
As a kind of call
center: Customers can send questions and receive replies by SMS,
reducing call volume.
-
To notify roaming
employees, such as sales people or technicians on the road, of
any updates or messages
-
For marketing or CRM
purposes: SMS messages are personal and have a high response
rate
Although anybody with a
mobile phone can send an SMS, GFI FAXmaker’s SMS gateway offers many
advantages. Through it, users can type and send SMS messages much
faster from their computer (rather than using their mobile phone
pads) and can also use the corporate email address book for
recipient mobile numbers. The SMS gateway grants organizations
central control of SMS usage. A company can also benefit from
application integration: Because GFI FAXmaker integrates seamlessly
with Exchange Server or SMTP/Notes, any application that can
generate emails can now send notifications via the SMS gateway,
meaning that organizations can easily SMS-enable any corporate
application.
