Are you still using text messages?

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the invention of short message. The first short message sent by the inventor in the past was Merry Christmas.

SMS, are you still using it?

Seeing this question, I picked up my mobile phone and read my message. There are some information that I don't want to delete. Those are precious memories, messages from people closest to you or people you like and secretly love. Do you still have this information?

Every Spring Festival, I will send you a farewell message in the evening, and find a few words for New Year's greetings. It is convenient and quick to use the group sending function.

How long has it been since I used it to send messages? Why did the smash hit SMS fall to the present situation?

Now everyone's SMS function is nothing more than three purposes.

10086

Every time I am prompted by SMS, I know that it is estimated to be 10086. Tell me that your phone bill balance is insufficient. Please pay it as soon as possible.

2. Verification code

Every time you register or log in to the software, the function of receiving SMS is just easy to use, or you need a verification code to buy a train ticket.

Are there many mobile phones on Taobao, or other advertisements, those annoying advertisements, which make Bian Xiao's obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy?

SMS, this software hasn't sent messages for a long time. I think when Bian Xiao used Nokia, such a small keyboard typed quickly with his thumb, which used to be the fastest typing in our class.

When we used short messages, a short message could only send 70 words. Every time, Bian Xiao racked his brains to compile a short message, trying to use up all the 70 words, and never giving China Mobile the mentality of saving money to send every short message.

At first, we set up a short message package every month just to send short messages to our girlfriends, but hundreds of short messages a month are not enough. At the end of each month, we are worried about the shortage of short messages, not the traffic. Can you imagine such a day?

SMS has been very popular in China since 2000. At that time, the number of short messages was as high as 1 100 million, reaching its peak in 20 12. The number of short messages used in China is about 900 billion, which makes Bian Xiao feel terrible at the thought. In the years after 2065,438+03, the number of short messages decreased year by year until now.

What is the reason for the decline? The reason is that in 20 12 years, wechat began to enter everyone's sight. This software, which only needs traffic without money, really makes everyone feel the convenience of WeChat. Short messages used to pay New Year greetings have also begun to enter the Internet. Wechat can not only send text, but also send expressions. This software can be said to have brought great convenience to everyone from the beginning. The biggest advantage is that you don't need to spend money, just need traffic. At that time, traffic was very cheap. Mobile 5 yuan 30M, 10 yuan 70M traffic packets are basically enough for everyone's daily use. Compared with SMS, it can really be described as free. Unlike now, with a few G's of traffic per month, Bian Xiao is still not enough.

So now ask everyone, do you still have text messages from people you like on your mobile phone?
