Short Message Service (SMS)

Recently, we learnt about the Short Message Service (SMS). The words used by many people would be shortened and more acronyms, abbreviations and contractions would also be sent through the SMS. This is because we want to restrict ourselves to the 160-characters limit within one SMS. For some handphones, it is possible to exceed the 160-characters limit, but, it would then spill over into another SMS and we would be charged for sending the additional SMS as well.

However so, in our composition writing, we must never use the shortened forms of words such as:
  • "tat" to represent "that"
  • "coz" to represent "because"
  • "4" to represent "for"
  • "tmr" to represent "tomorrow"
  • "l8r" to represent "later"

This is because only a few people will understand these shortened forms and may be misinterpreted by others.

Below is a short video of the Short Message Services that we tried sending to our friends. We had to write a poem for a friend. Enjoy!
