Well, it is TERRIBLE to do that, specially if you been dating for such a long time. Be brave and brake up face to face.

Text support for a subjective opinion? no. Why might it be upsetting or good to you? That's what you should write.

"I am in SMS" means that they arent online at their computer, but if you send them a message, it will go to their cell phone. \n\nShe may be be ignoring your message because she doesnt want to pay an SMS fee to reply to you, or maybe her cell phone is off... could be any number of reasons.\n\nNothing to get bent out of shape about though.

The possibility is there.  The probability is low, unless you have a cell phone that can be easily compromised.\n\nIn general SMS messages are sent from cell phone to wireless network, to long haul land lines, to wireless tower to your cell phone.  Alternatively, the SMS is sent from a land line system or gateway (such as a web site), to the long haul land lines, to tower to cell.\n\nThe possible areas where the SMS can be intercepted easiest is in the second scenario where a web based system is attacked, or in both scenarios at your cell phone.\n\nMost likely place is your cell phone if it has WiFi, Bluetooth and even IR capabilities configured incorrectly.\n\nNote that SMS messages are stored for a period of time on the wireless company's system.\n\nThe "smarter" phone you have, the higher the probability that it can be "hacked".

It depends on his communication skills and level of understanding. Dumb doesn't mean stupid. Obviously it wouldn't be you to be the one to tell him, but someone close, who knows him, talks to him, and respects him. They do communicate quite well.

Pretty simple really.  But fraught with permission problems.  HEre's the How To:\n\nDownload software for SMS text meassaging - there's a few packages available.\n\nLoad data from your potential clients or existing clients (better) using their cell phone numbers as a unique Id.\n\nDarft a message and blast your list.  Simple.  Well, no.  You've already broken several laws if any of the phones are in the possession of minors, as you've jsut solicited business from a minor.  Also you've invaded privacy in many cases.  You may have broken some other laws relating to permission and email marketing standards.  Very dangerous.  If you don't actually have clearly stated permission to contact each person you blast, then you're setting yourself up for a lawsuit.

Only if you know the person well. Some people dont like that. Might lead to you being known as "The Wise Guy". So be careful about being critical. But there are nice ways of pointing the mistakes so that no one gets hurt.

ur preaching 2 th quire.\n\nSorry. I have asked and answered this question several times myself, and just can't seem to wrap my mind around what some of the others are saying.\n\nI have heard that the prevalence of this so-called SMS language is because the young minds on this site (and others) are so thirsty for information that they cannot take time to properly phrase their Q's or A's. I cry "shenanigans." Anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them has no excuse. \n\nI've also heard that this is an "evolution" of the language, and that if "ppl" understand what is being written, what's the problem? I've got to say that I have a hard time parsing some of the gibberish I read here, so what's the response to that?\n\nWithout clear communication the system breaks down. It's as clear as that. We need more emphasis on clearly getting our thoughts across using the standards that we have agreed on (English spelling and grammar).\n\nI can't say it enough times: I agree, I agree, I agree.\n\nLoved the book, by the way. I even gave a copy to my Dad for Christmas. The sound of irony was deafening.

A friend of my secretary did something VERY funny:\n\nHe was on a train with a man who insisted on speaking very loudly on his cellphone. While on the phone, he spoke with his wife, his daughter, and his internet service provider. So, her friend began writing...first, he wrote down the man's wife's name. Then when he called his daughter, he wrote her name down. Then he called his Internet service provider, and in the course of the conversation, the man (loudly) divulged his name, home address, and screen name.\n\nSo a few days later, the man would have received a post card in the mail that said..."Your name is (blank), your wife's name is (blank), your daughter is (blank), and your AOL screen name is (blank). Next time be considerate of others while talking on your cell phone on the train. Have a nice day.

It depends in what the tone of the msg you sent to your friend was. If it was "gossipy", I'd probably talk to her in person and say it was an action with a lack of respect for her and you are very sorry. If it was more of a best-friends-share-all-secrets type thing, then ask her if she'd rather have you not tell your good friend things like these (because otherwise that's how things will be. and i understand because i tell my best friend almost everything).\n\nSo it depends on the nature of the text. If you think you shouldn't have texted your best bud this, then apologize and take full blame for it... it will be the best thing for you to do in her eyes. But it sounds like she isn't too hung up about it... so maybe just send her a text saying- I feel like a fool for sending you a 'secret' that was meant for my best friend. If it bothers you, I won't tell my friend things like that about you again"\n\ngood luck

Hey if you really like this girl why can't you come up with your own original message. It's not very romantic or cool that you couldn't think up of own SMS message for her.
