...The Basics of SMS Messaging The Basics of SMS Messaging Introduction to SMS Short Message Service, better known as SMS or text messaging, is a telecommunications service that allows the sending of short (160 characters or less) text-based messages between mobile phones. SMS is generally available on all wireless networks globally and can reach virtually all of the 4 billion mobile phones in use today, making it the world’s most pervasive data communications technology. SMS messages can be typically sent and received within seconds throughout the world. And with more than 1 trillion SMS messages sent in 2009 in the US alone, volumes are widely forecast to continue their strong growth rate globally for years to come. SMS offers businesses a compelling communication channel for effective, two-way interaction with customers and prospects. It can extend brand awareness, create customer loyalty and deliver timely content or critical information, providing the immediacy and interactivity no other medium can offer. Attracted by the unique characteristics offered by SMS, businesses are increasingly utilizing the anytime, anywhere mobile channel as part of a multichannel communication strategy. Types of SMS Person-to-Person (P2P) and Application-to-Person (A2P) are the two categories of SMS messages. While P2P messages connect one individual to another, A2P messages are used by companies that want to interact with consumers via an SMS application. This document deals solely with...

Users always seek multi-dimensional use of their cell phones. The main purpose of this paper is to find out customer satisfaction through SMS Banking. Mobile phone operators provide various value added services (VAS) to their users including banking service and other utility services with the legal agreement with respective organizations. As mobile operators are trying heart and soul to retain existing customers and enhance new customers by adding VAS, hence a mobile banking solution called SMS Banking that allows people to bank with their mobile phones and its overview are presented in paper.

SMS Banking allows you to check account balance, transfer amount to other account, payment of utility bills like electricity bill, gas bill and water bill etc. Short Message Service is particularly adapted to 2G networks because they require low capabilities for data exchange (160 characters for 7 bit by message). For example, SMS make possible to answer quickly a customer request to consult the account balance. The sensitivity of this information requires that the bank lodges and manages its own SMS server since the telecom operators are not authorized...

The specifications profile existing 3GPP IMS services, enhanced packet core and radio, and leverage telecom characteristics such as quality of service and global reach. VOICE services in MOBILE BROADBAND networks Mobile broadband has created a world of opportunities and opened up new revenue streams for operators. Opportunities are often coupled with challenges, and mobile broadband tests the position of communication services, such as voice, which today accounts for around 70 percent of operators’ annual revenue – about USD 650 billion – globally. The crucial question is how to take advantage of mobile broadband opportunities while at the same time maintaining and increasing revenue from communication services. LTE networks can deliver mobile broadband and communication services with greater capacity and lower latency. However, as there is no circuit-switched voice domain in LTE, the mobile industry will adopt a globally interoperable IP-based voice, video-calling and messaging solution for LTE, which also enables development of new innovative multimedia services. Some over-the-top (OTT)...

...Critique on Surrogates Robert Piccioli English 225 Brian Davis September 12, 2011 Critique on Surrogates The film Surrogates (2009), directed by Jonathon Mostow, was an excellent film with a powerful message for society. The message was delivered well through each aspect of the film and its elements. The film's main concept centers around the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase remote controlled humanoid robots through which they interact with society. These fit, good-looking, remotely controlled robots ultimately assume their life roles, enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Online, you can hide behind an avatar and a lie of a profile and have complete anonymity. Expand that to real life, with a realistic looking robotic body, made in your own image, or not, and you have the world of "Surrogates." Most crime being a thing of the past, no more spreading diseases, racism and sexism gone and few, if any , consequences for your actions, (destroying a surrogate seems to be considered vandalism) all seem to take our own self centered, hedonistic, world of instant gratification to a whole new level. Throw in those who don't choose to keep them selves 'safe' by using robotic bodies living on reservations, seemingly shunning technology and being the subject of new racism, and you might think that you have a...

Countless Indians have relentlessly worked for close to two decades to successfully establish “India” as a software brand.

My inability to quote accurate wait times for walk-in and call-ahead parties, while simultaneously ensuring that reservations are seated at the time they requested, during peak hours negatively impacts my customers’ satisfaction. 3.
