Tekstiviestipalveluihin, also known as SMS services, refers to a range of applications and systems that utilize text messaging (SMS) for communication and information exchange. These services allow users to send and receive messages, often with specific functionalities built around this core capability.

Historically, SMS services were primarily for person-to-person communication. However, their utility has expanded significantly. Businesses and organizations now use them for customer engagement, such as sending appointment reminders, promotional offers, and order confirmations. They can also be used for alerts, like weather warnings or traffic updates, delivered directly to a user's mobile device.

Interactive SMS services enable users to respond to messages, creating a dialogue. This can be used for voting in contests, participating in polls, or requesting information. More complex systems might integrate with databases or backend applications to automate responses or trigger actions based on received messages.

The underlying technology relies on the Short Message Service, a standard communication protocol used by mobile telephone networks. While newer messaging platforms exist, SMS remains a widely accessible and reliable method, especially in situations where internet connectivity might be limited or for reaching a broad audience. The cost and delivery speed are also factors that influence the adoption and use of these services.
