I just posted this in the K800 tips and tricks but it may work for others, give it a go and post here if it does.

____________________________________________________________

Don't know if this works on all networks but it does on my T-mobile Flext sim.

Start a message with > !! then type message e.g.

!!Hello you.

Send it and the message gets sent as a flash text message not standard.

i.e. the message appears on the receiving mobile, already opened and they can read it on the screen but cant save it, edit it, move it to inbox, nothing!
Once you hit OK to say you've read it it's gone forever, no proof you ever sent it in the first place!

Have fun if it works for you.

I recieved a "please registrer your phone" message from SE in this format. Thought it was spam since it showed up on the main screen.
Anyways, doesen't work with Tele2/Telenor in Norway (sending that is)

It worked. I sent from t-mobile to Orange and a anonymous message arrived and disappeared after it was read. Brilliant! Hours of fun... :-)

Looks like it's a T-Mob UK thing then. At least we can have fun with it. :

The rest of you are stuffed!

@Goldenface

Be careful with this on M8, I've not tested it by sending one to some older phones, they may not be able to handle this type of thing.

You could end up in all sorts of poo if they can't!

@whistla

I'll practice in the pub on some of my closer mates first while they near me and if its still anonymous then woe-betide them

I'll send anonymous messages telling them they have an admirer, or

"nice Shirt" messages

I'll sent two of my mates a "meet me outside in 5 minutes but don't tell anyone" message
