Our simple guide on SMS protocol could guarantee you a quick promotion or a kiss from your partner with great ease!




>>Less is always more.



>>Watch out for double meanings, for instance, LOL stands for both 'laugh out loud' and 'lots of love.' It could get you punched in the nose!
>>Case in point: A message in all caps is perceived as shouting, so unless you're really ticked off, go with lowercase.
>>Wham the spam: Don't send anything that's a mindless chain text, voice message or advertising snippet. It sucks.
>>Avoid over abbreviating, especially while texting a senior... you come across as lazy, casual and one of those who doesn't realise using a dictionary can be as simple as
symbolising!
>>Don't text when angry, no matter how strong the urge. Talk instead.
>>Messaging sweet nothings to your lover is alright in the day, as long as it's not more than once an hour.
>>Keep the text alert tone low and soft, especially if you SMS a lot.
>>Be personal. Since the tone of your words isn't audible, business notes can seem curt otherwise.
>>Remember to add your own special greeting before forwarding a message, so that a person knows it isn't bulk.
>>Be specific. Cross-messaging again and again to clarify details is very annoying.
