The rise of communication technologies has led to a deep modification in several areas of human life. Languages are no exceptions. Since language teachers are first trained and then put in charge of guiding learners towards the mastery of languages for communication, it is important to investigate their views about such changes because they are first individual users who may be confronted with the advantages and drawbacks of these technologies in their professional practice. That is why the main purpose of this study, the second in a series, is to explore the perspectives of Beninese pre-service technical teachers on their reasons to use SMS. The results of this study shed further light on a previous study that indicated that none of these went without sending SMS on a day.
