Do you still send text messages?

Although QQ and WeChat are more popular now, and various social tools emerge in an endless stream, it seems cheaper to contact others with QQ and WeChat, and it can also get feedback from others in time, which is beneficial to both sides. But I think there are still many places that need text messages.

Let me talk about the places where you need to use SMS in your life.

1, issue a notice

If you join the student union or any other organization in the school, especially the student union, you will find that texting is a very common thing. Whenever there is any task assignment, the cadres or officers of the student union will contact the class committees of various classes or people from other departments by sending text messages to inform them what to do.

I want to learn from the student union. I will use text messages, probably because I think it is more formal to send text messages. Moreover, if you send a text message, people will reply to you more easily, and they will be paid more attention than people in QQ.

2. Contact China Mobile, China Unicom and Telecom.

If you want to check the phone bill balance or the remaining traffic, you can call or send a text message, but I personally prefer to send a text message because it is more convenient. You make a phone call and he will talk to you for a long time. Sending text messages can more intuitively see your traffic or phone bill usage.

Also, what business do you want to handle, he will let you reply by SMS, for example, replying to any number means handling any package or inquiring about anything, and replying to TD means unsubscribing. Wait, we need to send text messages.

3. When it is inconvenient for me or the other party to answer the phone.

If I get a call from someone during a meeting, I'm afraid the other person is in a hurry at that time, so I usually send him a text message saying that I'm in a meeting and talk about it later. If I call the other party, he is in a meeting or in an emergency, he will also send me a text message to reply. At this time, it is not very scientific to use QQ or WeChat, because if there is any urgent matter or meeting, you will generally not pay attention to the news of QQ or WeChat, so it is more convenient to send text messages. Sending a short message is easier for the receiver to see.

Although SMS still has its uses, we really seldom use it in our lives. If things are not urgent, we usually use QQ or WeChat. Because QQ and WeChat are more convenient to use, and the cost is very low, but it costs a dime to send a text message. Sometimes after sending a short message, I find that I have something to say and I have to send another one, which is very troublesome. If it is really urgent, I will also choose to call. Moreover, it is more convenient to communicate with each other directly by telephone.

So SMS may be gradually eliminated by people.
