The SMS services of most telecommunications companies are going the way of email. With the enormous volume of cell phone text message traffic sent and received every day, one in ten of these text messages is probably spam from businesses or companies trying to sell or promote their product or service.

So, technically speaking, opening unsolicited cell phone text messages will not do much damage to a person’s mobile phone. The only downside to this type of marketing or advertising is that it is intrusive, annoying, and very annoying.

Unsolicited cell phone text messages are considerably a lesser evil than spam email, and especially spam calls from telemarketers.

For businesses, having a simple and cost-effective way to market a product will help them reduce the expenses incurred in marketing and advertising their products. Consumers would benefit from this because since the cost of producing and manufacturing the product or service is low, companies would not have to recoup their losses by overcharging the price of their products. Companies could also focus on the things that matter most, like improving the quality of their products, which in turn would benefit consumers.
