Cool SMS feature |

Hi I came across a really cool thing when sending SMS
when writing the SMS put two exclamation marks and a space before the text. i.e
!! hello you old prat
Then just send as usual. The message just pops up on the receivers screen. The SMS is not stored on the phone. I dont know if this is well known already nyt i find it extremely cool you have to try it.
I'm on T-mobile and i don't know if it works from other networks, it works to send to other networks.
If anyone have discovered other fun SMS "bugs" please post them |

I'm on T-mobile in the UK, maybe it's specific to this network. Has anyone tried Voda or Orange?
I tried with both T68 and T300 and it works fine. I really like it.

It sounds like the pop sms that displays the msg status when it is turned on, when i used a nokia 8390 the status msgs were saved as a 'report' but unlike regular sms the reports could be catch deleted.

k, well i just tested it out on my t-mobile sim and it works,
when i send it to my t68i it just appears,
but the p800 is not fooled, well not as bad, it just pops up with message recieved, but in like a seperate box that i hadn't seen ever before, but then you veiw the message but it cant be saved...

this is a hark back to the old one2one days. At one point all nets had there own server features as they were not x net as today. Can l say this phone is fantastic!!!
