Why is
SMS so freaking popular in Europe? I can't figure it out.
Look at the reasons why SMS is "cool" (lifted from a website):
- SMS Messages can be Sent and Read at Any Time.
- SMS Messages can be Sent to an Offline Mobile Phone
- SMS Messaging is Less Disturbing While You can Still Stay in Touch
- SMS Messages are Supported by 100% GSM Mobile Phones and They can be Exchanged between Different Wireless Carriers
Um..correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Voicemail do all of that? The "less disturbing" thing can be remedied by people learning how to turn their ringers off. And how much time does it take to type out a message on your phone keypad versus leaving a similar message with spoken language. The only thing that makes sense for SMS being popular is that it is cheap. However, in the US, it's pretty cheap to talk. I Guess the Europeans are
paying too much for their cellphones.
