SMS and PubNub

Over two decades old, SMS has hit its limits when it comes to capability and functionality. However, it’s not completely dead.

Messaging applications of the future have transcended SMS, but have not abandoned it completely. When it comes to highly interactive, incredibly fast messaging, SMS simply can’t keep up. PubNub provides APIs and a network that takes messaging to the next level, while still providing integrations for cases where you need SMS.
