You are calling your friend on an urgent basis and he is unavailable at the moment. What will you do? You will try to contact them in some or the other way. Nowadays it is possible because there are many services that you can use to reach out to them.

Earlier times this was not the case, you would have telephones at most places and would not be able to talk to the same person for much longer time or whenever you wanted as you cannot take a telephone and roam everywhere.
