Do you think it is necessary to keep the SMS function of mobile phone?

The existence of short messages is still necessary. Not everyone can use WeChat. Many old people around me don't even know what WeChat is, let alone use it. 2. The use of WeChat requires mobile data traffic, but does not require SMS. As long as it is a mobile phone with a mobile phone card, this means that the application threshold of SMS is lower than WeChat.

Of course, compared with WeChat, SMS also has many shortcomings. Text messages can only be sent within 70 words. Besides SMS, WeChat can also send pictures, music, GIF animations and even voice messages. Friends can chat more freely. In addition, on WeChat, you can group your friends and start chatting with many people at will, while SMS can only chat one-on-one.

WeChat can send red envelopes, but SMS can't. You can even sell things on WeChat and become a micro-enterprise. Although WeChat has many advantages over SMS, there are a large group of people who can't use WeChat at present, and SMS is still necessary. Some people say that the frequency of using text messages is getting lower and lower, and they haven't sent text messages for a long time. They think the short message function is useless. Why are there fewer text messages? Because the telecom tariff has dropped too much now! Recall that a few years ago or even more than a decade ago, the cost of making a phone call was relatively high, and a short message with a score of 10 was very cheap. After going to other places, there are long-distance roaming and mobile roaming, but there is no text message, so everyone likes to send text messages. If you are embarrassed, you can easily solve it by texting, but now the cost of making a phone call is much lower. The free talk time included in the package that most people buy is endless, so many people are too lazy to send text messages and choose to call directly.

In some cases, the function of SMS is irreplaceable, such as transmitting information without the Internet and sharing things or feelings with friends anytime and anywhere. Holiday SMS greetings are also more cordial. Others said that all the messages sent now are QQ or WeChat, and no one uses SMS. The author believes that WeChat cannot replace the SMS function. First of all, WeChat needs the status of network environment. Second, both parties may not be online in real time, and information may not be transmitted at any time, but short messages can be transmitted in real time. Therefore, the short message function will not disappear in a short time, and the author will continue to use short messages.
