Text messaging has become one of the latest fads of today. Text messaging just makes life a little easier, not to mention that it is a whole lot more fun than talking on the phone. Text messaging is quick, simple, and best of all silent. Why is silent the best? Well, say, for instance, you are in a meeting, someone has an important message for you that you must get right away. Would you rather someone call your cell phone and interrupt the meeting or send a text message that not only allows the meeting to keep going uninterrupted, but also gets the message to you right away.

Text Messaging and Teens

Text messaging is probably the most popular in the teen generation of today. With text messaging you can send fun, cute, or flirty messages right over the cell phone and go on about your day. Teens are really into the text messaging thanks to the ability to shorten messages with fun abbreviations, as well as the fact that they can be personalized with pictures, graphics, music, icons, and even video.

Why do teens and text messaging go together so easily? Well, teens have come up with a variety of reasons for text messaging. For example, if they are in trouble with their parents and cannot talk on the phone, they can send a quick text message to all of their friends, letting them know not to call. Perhaps a girl or a boy has a crush on another person, well instead of being shy and embarrassed to pick up the phone and call, they may send a text message instead.

For teens text messaging is just fun, new, and exciting.

Text messaging essentially makes everyone’s life easier. Most all cell phones today feature text messaging capabilities. Furthermore, most cell phone companies offer a variety of packages, that include text messaging. Why wait? Start text messaging today.

Marketers everywhere are in constant search of new ways to reach clients. Luckily a new process is available for gathering data and developing communication lists. Internet marketers can now use a text message poll to gather opt-in email lists and phone numbers. A text message poll can be used in a variety of ways to solicit new contacts and contact information. The following methods are now used by many professional marketing firms to gather this information.

Contests Will Draw Plenty of Responses

Many marketing companies use contests to gain contact information from potential clients. By advertising a large give away or contest these companies are able to gather hundreds and even thousands of new email addresses or phone numbers through the text message poll. The process is very simple. Companies either use television or radio ads to let people know about the contest. The entrants are then instructed to use mobile phones for the text message poll in order to enter to win. Each entrant must submit their name and contact information in order to be entered in the drawing. As an afterthought, the ad will explain that anyone who enters may be contacted with future deals, contests, or offers.

Special Discounts Can Build Your Contact List

Another option for gathering contacts is to offer a special discount. Many companies are using a text message poll in this way. The potential client or customer is given a special number to use for the text message poll. Shortly after texting the number, the client will receive a return text with a special code. This special code will allow the customer to shop online or in the store and take a percent off of their purchase. In today’s economy, many people are willing to give up their contact information to a text message poll, in exchange for a special discount.

Offering a Free Service to Gather Contact Information

Some marketing firms are using a free service to gather new customers. These companies offer a free text or email daily in exchange for an opt-in by the client. The client t uses the text message poll service to sign up for the free deal. Once they are enrolled they will receive the free service by email or texting which is very affordable. For example, one company may offer a free joke of the day delivered to cell phones while others offer a free horoscope delivered by email. Many people enjoy these services and will sign up with very little pressure. By offering these services a company can build up a contact list of millions of people in one year. Of course the service will have to be advertised and marketed as well.

All of these methods of using text message polling have proven very effective for businesses both large and small. This service is much more effective than paying a data company for individuals’ names and phone numbers. Rather than paying up to two dollars per name or email, you can easily conduct your own data gathering text message poll.

I would like to send a text message to someone’s cell phone on an anonymous basis (meaning the party can’t see my cell phone number). How can I do this (either via the web or phone), and is there a way that the party can reply so I can read it?

SMS dating comes with all the same pitfalls and problems that traditional dating comes with, and that can include a more than overzealous suitor. When romantic text messages become creepy, there are some things you can do to stop them.

Never string them along. If you are not interested, you are not interested. Never pass the time or cure your own boredom by replying to romantic text messages with flirty texting that may give the impression you are interested. Rather, simply do not respond at all, or respond only to say that you are not interested.

If you have stopped responding, but the romantic text messages still keep coming, you will have to get firm. Send a very strongly worded text message asking him or her to stop texting you. You may say something like – Go away (or something stronger!). Please do not text me anymore. If you continue to text me, I will be forced to report you to the authorities. Keep it short and free of vulgarity. Avoid using any terminology that could be misinterpreted.

Start keeping a log of the unwanted romantic text messages you are receiving. List the times, dates, and amounts of texts you are getting from this person. If you have the ability to save or download the texts to the computer, do so for documentation purposes.

If you had been using a mobile phone dating service at the time you began texting this person, review all the policies of that service. If the service has a customer service phone number or email, attempt to contact the service to see if they can stop these unwanted romantic text messages. If you have not yet exchanged contact numbers with this person and he or she is still contacting you through the cell phone dating service, then the service may be able to help.

If you had already exchanged contact information with this person, and he or she is sending the romantic text messages directly to your cell phone, try contacting your mobile phone service provider. They may be able to do something to block this persons text messages and phone calls.

If the romantic text messages at any time become at all threatening, you should consider filing a police report. It is especially important to go to the police if this person knows where you live, work, or regularly hang out. Just by having the police let this person know they have been contacted may stop the text messaging.

If all else fails and you are unable to get any help with these unwanted romantic text messages, you may want to consider changing your phone number. As this can be somewhat of a hassle, you would only want to consider this if the text messages were becoming completely out of hand or threatening.

Always remember that if the person already knows enough about you, especially if he or she knows where you live, then simply changing your number does not mean you are completely safe. This is why it is always a good idea to let the local authorities know about the problem.

My friend sent me a text message on my cell phone and he was at his house on his computer.

My girlfriend and I often text each other, and I have found that from the time it says Message Sent to the time where the symbol by the message turns to a checkmark (meaning that the other person received it) is anywhere from 18 to 30 seconds. We both have Verizon Wireless. Is this about right?
