In South Africa we have three GSM based Cell phone or
mobile Networks, Vodacom, MTN & Cell C. SMS is a service usually activated by
your service provider and accessed on your cell phone's mail or messages
sub-menu. An SMS can be up to 160 characters long and sent to any person with
a mobile phone or a Quickfire enabled PC World Wide!
To tell someone something or even just to leave a
voicemail on their cell phone will currently cost you around R2.00 and that
is local. Internationally it becomes almost prohibitive especially for the
recipient. Using one of our packages you can send the same message in text
form
Sure there are some Internet based solutions. However
with us there are distinct advantages:
- Messages are delivered instantaneously - real time.
- Get confirmation in real time on receipt of message.
- You own the information - no third parties.
- No need for dial-up connections or expensive leased
lines.
- Not limited to certain networks.
- Automate the entire receiving and sending of SMS's.
In South Africa we have a high ratio of cell phone per
capita and it is increasing everyday. Maybe you are one of the growing number
of people who are realizing the potential benefit of always keeping in touch!
Here are a few applications of how SMS technology can
be used in our everyday life:
- Management Tool
- Messaging System
- Paging System
- Reminder
- Help desk
- Emergency services
- Sales & Marketing Tool
Examples range from the personal:
Hi Anita. Don't forget to meet me at the waterfront

Damien is coming as well. We are off to the movies afterwards - bye Samantha.
