SMS
messages
Enormously popular,
particularly amongst the young, is the use of mobile phones to send
text or sms messages (Short Message Service).
For a small business
they can be used for quick communication of simple messages or data
amongst staff. They can be used to cheaply communicate with your customers,
to promote your services: individually, selectively or in bulk. Whilst
not everyone may want or respond to this - if your market is under 25,
you are communicating in their language. That's wherever they are, at
any time you choose.
You can send sms
messages from an office pc, or incorporate the facility into a website
for others to use. For further information on how you can use SMS messaging
from the internet from your PC or web site, visit Clickatell
or
Your mobile PA. Or you can try using Instant
Messaging (generally for communications between fixed PCs) to send
SMS messages to mobile phones.
