It's been like 6 months since I sent my last sms. SMS are even expensive compare to Whatsapp and even emails. With the push-email facility in my smartphone, I get my emails on the go. I can even send 50KB size of message for less than N3 if I don't have an active internet data plan. 50KB size of SMS can be more than 20 pages of SMS, multiply that by N5 (for same carrier) and by N10 (for other carriers). Even with N0.00 in my phone (and no active internet data plan) I send and receive Whatsapp messages for free. Have you all forgotten that smartphones killed Multimedia Messages too. It's just a matter of time till SMS is annihilated |

They might not necessarily affect sms/texting. . .but it'll most definitely affect phone-calls. . .like i feel so lazy 2 call dese days. . .except business or maybe i madly need 2 hear some angelic voice or just feel like talking,which might last hours,texting and chatting are taking over. . . I think its time for the world 2 finally move on |

NaijaNaWaa: This is too misleading. If I may ask, don't you pay to use Smartphones on the networks and don't you pay to use the apps over the networks? So kini big deal? |

SMS still has a role to telecommunication. Social networking (FB, Whatsapp, SKYPE etc) are palying a different role entirely. It is not everybody you chat with. Everyone seems to be responding from the point of chatting alone. SMS can be a one time form of message to another mobile user. Are we saying we chat with everybody we know, even corporate messages and co? |

Network operators in Nigeria just need to improvise. The networks I use abroad either give you a number of sms for free with any package you sign for or make it free after charging you for a number of sms daily. Like I can send 45 free txt messages after paying for the 1st five in a day. |

A smartphone is a mobile phone whose operating system is any of the following: Symbian, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone, iOS, Meego, Maemo, Bada, etc. Any phone that allows multitasking may be called a smartphone. Nokia C3-00, Nokia Asha 201, Nokia 2700, Nokia X2-03, Nokia X2-00, etc. are all feature phones, not smartphones, yet they can run most of these social and messaging apps. Get updates about Android and mobile networks at http://mobiletechbits.com/ Applications such as WhatsApp, 2go, etc. represent alternatives to the traditional SMS. However, even if people stop using SMS in favour these messaging apps, networks will still making money from data used to run those apps. kpolli: intra-sms is N0 expense to the company so it's 100% profit You mean intra-network SMS? But they run their stations with diesel, and it is not free. Plus maintenance cost. |

infgost234: Many people seem not to understand the word 'SMARTPHONE'. They think any phone that can browse is a smartphone. GBAM!!! |

Soon, sms will be free as they won't make any money from it again and I still would not use it |

kejisept25: With all dose Instant message apllications listed above,Itz @ threat cos, I personally, see it as a sin to send SMS using money i totally agree with you on this. its just a mindless waste of money to keep in touch via sms...i even waste free sms that the carriers give because i forget to use them.. i have whatsapp, BBM, gtalk, yahoo messenger, fabcebook, twitter, skype etc. if you're less than 50yrs old and i need to be in touch with you but you're not on any of those social platforms, there's something definitely wrong with you |
