SMS
Short Messaging Service

A text message service offered by the GSM digital cellular telephone system. Using SMS, a short alphanumeric message (usually up to a maximum of 160 alphanumeric characters) can be sent to a mobile phone to be displayed there, much like in an alphanumeric pager system. The message is buffered by the GSM network until the phone becomes active.

At Foremost we have the expertise to combine SMS with other technologies to deliver specific solutions to meet our customers' needs. For example, we can implement a text messaging service by arranging that information extracted from a database can be sent via SMS automatically to registered users on a regular basis.
