WITH technology advancing at an exponential rate and mobile phones becoming smarter, traditional communication methods such as texting and making phone calls are becoming less important, with many other alternatives available to smartphone users.
According to Reuters, consumers are turning to low-cost alternatives such as BlackBerry Messenger, Imessenger and Facebook’s mobile messaging services. In turn, causing many mobile operators to lose a valuable source of income, as instead of being charged per message mobile data is being used instead.
By understanding the profit companies are making from SMS it’s understandable why they are concerned. For example, SMS currently generates around £640 for every megabyte of data transmitted.
