EMAILS.

Email requires only selected user and no need to be at their computer. Recipient retrieve their email on their own time. There is salutation in email to greet the receiver compare to SMS. The sender only get their reply when the receiver check their email.

CHAT.
Chat is a conversation between 2 or more people and it requires instant feedback. Chatting also can support up to 20 chatters in one channel. Real online conversation between many computer chatter must be online at the same time. Sometimes chat have different kinds of spelling, depends on the chatters. Chatters can get their answer on the spot there. Chatters also can do their conversations there.

SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE.
SMS stands for Short Message Service system that we have in our mobile. The name itself is short so the message must be short also as its name. User uses their mobile as their main device. Its called short message because the length setting is ljttle.Users use short sentences and words in sms . As example, the user will type ‘u’ for ‘you’.The sms user also can get their feedback quickly unless they didn’t have credit. Compare to email, sms are more to emergency but the user cannot do their conversation. They use it just for pass their information to others. SMS didn’t have salutation like email.
