IoT SMS or IoT Short Message Service implies SMS texting technology to communicate with devices within the whole Internet of Things ecosystem. In simple terms, it's a way for these devices to send and receive short text messages SMS communication in IoT works even in areas with spotty data reception, which is a great choice for remote devices or those with limited power budgets. Furthermore, SMS works with cellular networks, ensuring regular message delivery.
Some IoT devices are equipped with modules that allow them to transmit SMS messages. They are usually launched by specific events, foe example dramatic temperature increase, motion detection, lack of humidity, etc. The device sends a pre-defined SMS alert to a designated phone number.
Regular SIM usually used in the phones provides voice and data connectivity. It implies a two-way communication flow for browsing the internet, calls, sending and receiving SMS messages. In comparison, an IoT SIM card is specifically developed for M2M communication. Its primary purpose is to facilitate SMS messaging between devices and servers. They are often optimized for lower power consumption and may come both with top-up options as well as ready-to-use data plans.
