SMS is still the most rapidly growing means of communications over the mobile network, growing faster than MMS, GRPS, WAP and UMTS. Although IMS™is well suited to work with advanced technologies such as WAP, GPRS and UMTS, these technologies are not required or needed for a fully operational IMS™system.

• Works with any telephone with SMS ability
• No need to download software to the user's mobile phone.
• All you need is a normal mobile phone, and SMS
• mobileAxepts paysolution, IMS™ is an excellent way to teach your customers to purchase your services or get your information using their mobile phone, Blackberry or PDA.
• To initiate the service, all the user must do is to send an SMS/ text message or call a well-known telephone number, - the same for all your users. The IMS™system can return the requested information using the most appropriate means of communications, SMS; MMS, GPRS, or UMTS, depending on the user's terminal/handset. The IMS™system knows what to do, there is no need to tell the system what kind of terminal or phone the user is using.
• mobileAxept recommends customers to implement a simple SMS based service initially, and then learn about user responses and needs before moving to 2G or 3G solutions.
• IMS™ gives increased security without increased complexity
