Some information may be so important and urgent that it becomes risky to leave its delivery at the mercy of the children. In such cases, SMS becomes a handy solution. SMS remains one of the cheapest yet most versatile communication channels. More so, it is a simple one which requires just a knowledge of how to read and write and a mobile device.
Also, considering the large number of students a school may have, SMS could be one of the most effective means to reach out to them. There's an SMS messaging service that is designed to reach a large volume of people at once.
This enables the school to save time, energy, and perhaps, financial resources. SMS has grown to become a reliable, effective, and efficient communication medium not only for businesses but schools to maintain a communication chain with parents.
