| Now that GSM
has available worldwide we can all benefit from the services
it provides. GSM has many services to offer. One of the most
important services of GSM is ISDN compatibility. An emergency
service similar to 911 is provided in Europe.
In addition, an SMS service
allows short messages similar to pages but much more complex
to be sent to mobile phones, such as messages from other users,
traffic reports and weather alerts.
A unique feature of the short
message service is an acknowledgement of successful receipt
of the message. You are also able to store the sent messages.
There are also features like Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Three-way
calling and more.
Another helpful characteristic
is preventing outgoing international calls. There is no doubt
that as the service continues to grow and expand additional
options will be added. |
