LIMITATIONS OF SMS Messages are plain vanilla in nature. You can only send simple text messages. There is no

scope for any graphics or audio.

The messages are limited by size.

The limitation of easy input mechanisms in mobile devices makes it very uncomfortable

sending messages larger than even 5-6 words.

Many proprietary protocols are used by SMS operators and application developers need to

implement different interfaces for making their applications work with different SMS

centers.

SMS protocol data units as defined in GSM 03.40 are also not very efficient.

Data rate and latency.

campus alerts.

As text messaging has proliferated in business, so too have regulations governing

its use.

services firms engaged in stocks, equities, and securities trading is Regulatory

Notice 07-59, Supervision of Electronic Communications.

In 07, FINRA(Financial Industry regulatory authority) noted that "electronic

communications", "e-mail", and "electronic correspondence" may be used

interchangeably and can include such forms of electronic messaging as instant

messaging and text messaging.

Security, confidentiality, reliability and speed of SMS are among the most

important guarantees industries such as financial services, energy and

commodities trading, health care and enterprises demand in their mission-critical

procedures.

INITIATIVE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

SMS is a first generation GSM service.

Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS).

In EMS there are 10 different predefined sounds including low and high

chimes and chords, Ding, TaDa, Claps, Drum and Notify.

The next step in the evolution of SMS, which requires substantial changes

in the network infrastructure, is the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)

that allows a combination of text, sounds, images and video.

MMS uses standardized protocols like WAP. While EMS requires contentreformatting for mobile devices, there is no such requirement for MMS.

According to 3GPP standards MMS is a new service, which has no direct

equivalent in the previous ETSI/GSM world or in the fixed network world.


15/16

CONCLUSION SMS, because of its very nature has unique advantages that other non voice

services do not have.

The reasons for the enormous popularity of SMS have been the fact that this

mechanism of sending and receiving messages not only saves time but costs less

as well.

SMS is also uniquely positioned as a very attractive advertisement medium.

SMS is not only providing a useful mechanism for a host of innovative services

over mobile networks but it acting as a point of entry for new data services likeWAP in mobile networks.
