Glossary
SMS is a technology designed to allow the exchange of short (160 characters) messages between people (P2P) and businesses (A2P).
P2P messages are usually exchanged with friends and family; A2P messages are sent from a business or service.
The first SMS was sent in 1992. Since then, its importance has grown more than anyone could have predicted. From banking to retail, travel, healthcare, education, and many more industries, millions of businesses and services rely on A2P SMS to reach customers on both critical and trivial matters.
The importance of P2P SMS is just as massive, with many preferring it to voice calls, email, or even in-person meetings!
We are into SMS in more ways than you can imagine. It’s at the very heart of our everyday business. It’s where we started out, and it’s where we hope to be for many years to come.
