Does anyone still use text messages now? Will SMS service disappear?

With the rapid development of the information age, some old things will always be replaced by new things, which is also in line with the development of the times. So, will the once-popular SMS service eventually be replaced by those chat software? Personal answer: Of course not. Although the short message service has been launched for decades, it can be said that it is a very old service. With the popularity of chat software in recent years, it has really dealt a fatal blow to the short message service. If you want to send some messages to the other party with chat software, you can not only send some messages to the other party for free, but also send some messages to the other party through voice sometimes. It seems that chat software has won the short message service.

But why should we say that the SMS business is unshakable? If you only know the other party's mobile phone number and want to send some information to the other party, you must use the SMS service. Some people say that some chat software can also use the mobile phone number to search the other party's account and send messages. There is nothing wrong with this idea, but not everyone's account is made up of mobile phone numbers, which leads to the fact that sometimes there is no such person at all, so texting by mobile phone is the best way.

The other is that most elderly people in China don't know how to use smart phones. They usually use old mobile phones, so they can't install these chat software on their mobile phones. Sometimes people want to talk to the elderly, and they have to send short messages before they can convey these thoughts. It can be said that most SMS services are covered by the elderly.

I have to admit that most young people use chat software and few people send text messages. This has a great influence on the three giants in the communication industry. However, the ideas of these giants are all advancing with the times. Although there is nothing to make money from SMS business, they have turned their attention to these chat software and cooperated with them. If users use their own cards and chat software, the traffic generated by chat software is free. I have to say that the business thinking of these giants is really too strong, and neither SMS business nor new business is behind.
