SMS Support (Short Message Service Support) is an asynchronous form of communication where the customer and the agent do not need to be present at the same time to engage in a conversation.

Texting is the most widely used form of SMS Support and is the most commonly used feature on mobile phones. In fact, apps account for 90% of smartphone use.
