What is the advantage of sending a push notification as opposed to a SMS alert ?

My alerting regime is also built on 'curl' commands that generate SMS via twilio.

For example:

  curl -s -X POST -d "Body=$msg" -d "From=$from" -d "To=$to" "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$accountsid/Messages" -u "$accountsid:$authtoken"
... and I am very happy with the ability to send SMS with both a configurable from and to number.

However I am interested and open-minded - what are the benefits of using a push notification ?
