What Is SMS Text Messaging and How Does It Work?

What is Searchbug's SMS Text Messaging?

The SMS Text Messaging feature allows you to send an SMS text to any US cellular phone number through Searchbug’s website. Your text to the recipient will be sent over email (e.g. 5551234567@txt.att.net). And don't forget to mention your name as the recipient will not be able to reply to your message.

How SMS Works:

SMS messages are transmitted via the cellular network's signaling pathways. This means that even when voice or data services are overloaded, SMS messages often still get through, making them reliable in emergencies.
