SMS Alerts
SMS Alerts is a technology or service that enables automated sending of text messages (SMS) to mobile devices for notifications, alerts, or communications. It is commonly used in applications to deliver time-sensitive information, such as security alerts, appointment reminders, or transaction confirmations, leveraging SMS gateways or APIs provided by telecom carriers or third-party services.
Developers should learn and use SMS Alerts when building applications that require reliable, immediate notifications to users, especially in scenarios where internet connectivity may be unreliable or for broad accessibility across mobile devices. Specific use cases include two-factor authentication (2FA), emergency alerts, marketing campaigns, and system monitoring notifications, as SMS has high open rates and global reach.
