Communication 

sms

Most newcomers to text messaging think that there are no inherent advantages in this communication medium with likes of e-mail and phone calls already prevalent. In many cases this is true and it is often just as easy to drop someone an e-mail as it is to send an SMS.

Unlike an e-mail, an SMS is much more likely to be read by a person at any one time, since the majority of people have their mobile phones at arms reach 24 hours a day. Of course the same also applies to a phone call.

Emails

Emails are delivered extremely fast when compared to traditional post.

Emails can be sent 24 hours a day.

Webmail means emails can be sent and received from any computer, anywhere in the world, that has an Internet connection.

Cheap - when using broadband, each email sent is effectively free. Call users are charged at local call rates but it only takes a few seconds (for conventional email, text only) to send an email.

Emails can be sent to one person or several people.
