There, usage of Short Messaging Service (SMS) is already decreasing, primarily due to increased saturation and competition from other messaging formats. The market researchers expect that SMS will lose ground to both Multi-Message Services (MMS), e-mail, and, eventually, to Instant Messaging (IM). As users increasingly value the ability to know whether another person is present and available for correspondence, IM volumes will exceed SMS by 2005. |
