Does SMS have other functions besides verification code now?

Of course there are other functions. Nowadays, short messages are used less and less in our daily life. It seems that SMS exists to obtain all kinds of SMS verification codes. Actually, it is not. SMS exists for far more reasons than verification code. You should know that the original SMS function came out as a communication function. In a sense, SMS function is the embryonic form of chat software. When chat software is not popular, SMS communication is the most economical and convenient, but compared with calling.

In the years before the popularity of smart phones, all communication in different places was mostly done by SMS, and a person spent a large proportion on SMS. However, with the popularity of smart phones and the rapid development of chat software, the communication function of SMS has become less and less important, and the frequency of using SMS has become less and less. When you turn on your mobile phone, most text messages are content such as verification code, so it is reasonable to think that text messages seem to have no other functions except verification code.

But is it really necessary for SMS to exist only in this functional form? The answer is no, even though SMS may not play a huge role in the field of communication, communication, as the most basic function of SMS, will never be out of date. After all, in some special cases, SMS is the best choice. When we have no mobile phone traffic, when we need to confirm the news, or when we need relatively formal communication and confirmation, SMS plays an irreplaceable role. In the recent experience of booking and arranging meetings, SMS is often standard. Although the communication function of SMS is not so frequent, it will never be ignored. So SMS has other functions besides accepting verification code.
