Compared with the traditional short message service, point-to-point short message service is safer, faster, more convenient and more practical. It sends and receives information directly through the mobile phone terminal, and does not need to be forwarded through the SMS center of the operator, so it can avoid problems such as congestion and information leakage of the central node. The development of peer-to-peer SMS can be traced back to 2000.
At that time, a Finnish company developed the world's first peer-to-peer SMS application. With the continuous development of mobile communication technology and smart phones. Peer-to-peer SMS has gradually become an important way of communication in people's daily life. At present, peer-to-peer SMS has become one of the standard functions of major mobile phone manufacturers and communication operators, and its application scope is becoming more and more extensive.
Characteristics of point-to-point SMS
Peer-to-peer SMS is a direct communication method, which can directly transmit information between two people without going through other intermediaries or devices. This direct communication mode makes the transmission speed of short messages very fast and can complete the transmission of information in a short time. The transmission of point-to-point short messages is very reliable, because there is no need to go through other intermediate devices, so there will be no errors in information transmission.
In the traditional SMS mode, information is transmitted through the operator's server, which means that information may be easily obtained by others. Peer-to-peer SMS is different, its information will only be transmitted between the sender and the receiver, not through other devices or servers, so the privacy and security of information are well guaranteed.
