The Rise And Many Uses Of Texting

By Amy Lee


Mobile phone texting is one of the most popular forms of communication available. Children, teenagers and adults alike use this form of communication instead of its alternative "making a call". SMS or texting as it is referred to be the secondary feature of a phone. However it is probably used more frequently than the primary use of the phone. The reason for this popularity is the ease of use it affords the user. An SMS or text message is relatively cheaper than a 1 minute phone call. A user can send a message which is over 500 characters long.

Sites over the internet offer text messaging to certain areas in the world. These sites aim to help mobile phone users in other countries to avoid roaming costs. Roaming costs are applied when users use mobile phones with connections restricted to one country. Therefore sites such as www.textcanada.ca are ideal for users who wish to reach people within Canada. www.textcanada.ca is an example. There are many sites which specialize in other countries across the globe. It is also possible to send SMS text messages to phones using internet chat software. This generally requires purchasing credit over the internet for the service that user is chatting on. MSN messenger and G-talk offer this service.

Another form of texting and calling has been introduced via internet chat managers. The software allows the user to communicate with mobile phones via texting and calling. This feature is recent creation of internet providers such as MSN and Google. Texting using this type of software requires users to purchase credit over the internet via credit card or PayPal. Therefore sites such as www.textcanada.ca are far more tempting for internet users.

Due to the rapid development in the mobile phone industry it has become obvious that text messaging is a preferred form of communication. New keypads such as QWERTY keypad and the touch pads are popular. The android phone market makes it even easier for user to text message.

This abbreviation is also a form of convenience. This form of SMS culture is decided mainly by teenagers and early adults as they are the majority send text msgs. The usage of send text msging is mainly informal therefore is not generally used in business and corporate environments. Other forms of texting generally focus on sending messages and templates. These are ideal for sending photographs or relaying an important message that is generic.
