 | Chug chug chug I don't suppose it helps that SMS is a technology that is what, 15 years old? I don't imagine there's been much development in better SMS handling systems.
SMS should be replaced with IP-based services anyway. It's dumb to have multiple data realms. About as dumb as sending a floppy disk in the mail would be today. GSM providers eventually realized it would be cheaper/easier to just give legacy CSD users new phones and support than to keep its CSD gateways plugged in and chugging. |
