One might think that SMS usage in India has declined with the rise of messaging apps like WhatsApp. But in reality, SMS remains one of the most trusted and widely used communication channels, especially for important updates. For many users, WhatsApp is seen primarily as a chatting tool, while SMS is still the go-to medium for authentic communication like banking alerts, transaction confirmations, or OTPs.
For example, when someone withdraws cash from an ATM, they instantly receive an SMS confirmation, that simple message builds a sense of trust and security. With DLT-approved bulk SMS services, businesses can deliver concise, timely, and trusted messages straight to their customers’ phones without any internet needed.
In this blog, we’ll explore why SMS is still a powerful communication tool and how you can add DLT-approved bulk SMS services into your business communication.
