SMS changing the lives of Ghanaians

SMS has been used by company technicians working on cell sites to communicate on their progress of work. The PSMS was thought to be a much cheaper and convenient means of communication between technicians and engineers working at different points at a time. After many trials with outstanding success rates, the first commercial text message was sent on December 3, 1992 to a user with a Vodafone network in the UK.

Businesses have been conducted through SMS, deals have been sealed simply by
SMS and some people have walked away with successful transactions in Ghana.

A sports journalist says SMS is the best way for him to express his love to his girlfriend. He said he enjoys the thrill that the beeping of the cell phone gives and the anticipated happiness that follows when his girlfriend scrolls down her mobile phone reading the caring and loving words he has sent to her.

Busylab, a subsidiary of Busyinternet in Ghana has developed a system known as tradenet, it is a SMS platform that allows farmers and traders in agricultural products to conduct business across Africa. They can easily access agricultural products and prices by sending a text message to a number that has been provided on the system.

That is the power of mobile telephony unleashed through the SMS technology.
