Wechat replaces SMS, will SMS disappear in the future?

If you ask us what is the most commonly used mobile phone software, I believe that almost everyone's answer is the same: WeChat! The popularity of smart phones makes it easier for us to communicate with the outside world. On the other hand, WeChat software shortens the distance between people.

? Before the emergence of smart phones, I believe that post-80s and post-90s have experienced the era of chatting with friends through SMS. There was no WeChat at that time. People want to chat with their friends by phone or text message. At that time, the telephone price was relatively high, and people were more keen on communicating through SMS. At that time, operators also launched many SMS packages, which were very popular in the market. Every month, users use their fingers to calculate the amount of information left in the packet. So far, such a scene is still impressive.

With the development of smart phones, WeChat software has also appeared. There is no charge for WeChat chat, but it consumes traffic. Some netizens roughly calculated that 1000 MB of traffic can send 1000 WeChat messages, which is more cost-effective than SMS communication. In addition, if you connect to a WiFi signal, WeChat is free. Wechat is widely spread among consumers. Subsequently, WeChat launched voice sending function, video and voice calling function, which are also used to calculate traffic. The function of WeChat is more affordable than the basic function of mobile phone.

? ? Wechat has many interesting and practical functions since its birth, which has brought great convenience to users. Gradually, more and more people use WeChat, and fewer and fewer people make phone calls or send text messages. With the changes of the times, operators such as China Mobile and China Unicom have also changed the charging methods of mobile phone packages. The package mode, which takes traffic as the main body and provides free talk time and SMS number, has become the mainstream of mobile phone tariff package. Click to enter a picture description.
