Some companies, trying to keep up with the times and follow modern trends, are starting to replace SMS messages with push notifications, being confident that this is the future of Internet technologies. Of course, this is a very convenient tool for work and business. But are push notifications better than regular text messages? Let's compare them by some parameters.

Audience reach


SMS allows you to send denmark telegram messages up to 160 characters long over wireless telecommunications networks. In other words, SMS has global reach. Absolutely every mobile phone in the world supports SMS, which allows you to connect to 4 billion phones in more than 200 countries. And you don’t have to worry about connecting to the Internet.

Push notifications are similar to text messages. They are short and delivered instantly. But they differ from SMS messages in that you need a smartphone with a special application to receive them. You must also have constant access to the Internet.


Delivering information to the client


People look at their mobile screens 150 to 200 times a day. So, about 90% of SMS are read within the first three minutes of delivery. Moreover, the sender receives a notification about the delivery of the SMS. This is confidence that the information you send via SMS will reach the recipient.

As mentioned above, to receive push notifications, you need to install a special application. In addition, you need to confirm the request to receive these notifications. Only then will the information arrive in a timely manner. However, this does not guarantee that it will be read as quickly. Unlike SMS, not all applications with push notifications have a sound signal for notification of delivery. In addition, some people prefer not to connect push notifications to their applications so as not to clutter the phone screen with too much information.
