Unreal, I'm likely to ignore a "text message". Can they prove the recipient recieved it? Can they prove they read it. -Edbrown05 07:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can the sender be verified? Prank text messages containing false indictments might become a popular way to annoy… Karen 23:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I can see people sending speedcing violation SMSs as a joke, maybe faking the originating phone number. Nyarlathotep 05:32, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good work providing a link to "SMS" and "text messaging" for clarification. Since "SMS" can be ambigious (Microsoft has something called "SMS" which isn't "Short Message Service"), normally I edit "SMS" to "text messages". In this case, the headline really means the "Short Message Service" and not any specific text message. Karen 23:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What do people think of changing the title to South Korea begins sending indictments via SMS (cell-phone text messages) or something similiar? Bawolff ☺☻ 05:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
