What is an SMS carrier?
In telecommunications, a carrier is a company that offers the underlying infrastructure necessary for SMS, phone calls, or internet access through cellular data.
Companies use their native technology-based frameworks, called carrier networks, to provide this service.
How to pick a carrier for your business
While most businesses have in-house wireless systems, you should also have a carrier-based plan backup. Carrier networks keep your business running smoothly, even when your Wi-Fi is down.
Here’s how to pick a carrier plan for your business:
- Compare carriers: Consider factors your business may prioritize, such as network coverage, pricing, and data speed.
- Consider plan features: Prioritize factors like your average data usage and budget and determine whether you require additional features with your plan, like unlimited data.
