You may think you can send unabbreviated SMSs, but some ISPs will truncate
your sent message without advising you. You think your receiving end has
received all your transmitted message - but it hasn't. This leads to
frustration.

My preferred solution is generally to ignore SMS messages and to type in
STOP as the reply. To some, I plan to use other four-letter words.

To me, the SMS technology is good for people who wish to exchange messages
of absolutely no value whatever. It is also a great money sucker for telcos.
