   |  | (SMS = Short Message Service = Text Message on phone) 
 
      Never SMS me questions or discussions - I ignore them ! -
      Email Or Phone!Wherever I give my number, including on Business Card & Berklix list announcements, immediately
      following is: "NO SMS", If you
      ignore NO SMS: You waste Your Time.If you want me, Phone Or Email me !NO SMS for business either, unless your company has
      Already paid my company for computer consultancy.I do not read SMS for weeks or months. Contact me another way, Not via
    SMS.
      If Urgent: Phone ! Or Mobile PhoneOr Email me !Do not SMS unless you are happy for me Not See For Weeks & Never ReplyI might not mind reading it, but I will Not waste time
      replying!.
If you want a reply: Pay for a Phone call ! Cheaper on telecom charges
      & human time. than multiple SMS, & faster to come to
      a decision.My time is too valuable to waste squinting at SMS's in
      tiny & ill lit screens, composing SMS's. on crippled
      mobile phone keyboards, with max 160 limits & having to
      turn off the always wrong T9-guess-ahead.On none of the many social & sports etc activities I
      arrange & help with, will I stop to type you an
      SMS.I have for years organised more free eventsfor more
      groups than anyone else I know, so No further time to
      lose on unwanted SMS.Web & Email to SMS gateways I don't use: Wastes my
      time. Trying to keep SMS short to save you the recipient
      money.I've known supposedly intelligent people assert "SMS is
      cheap, effective, great etc, & they use it all the time".
      I've laughed at their SMS bills, & been annoyed at their
      typing SMSs while delaying me, walking at half speed, talking
      like zombies. (Remember the joke about the US president who
      couldn't walk & chew gum ? ;-) Make a quick interactive
      phone or mobile call while you I & others walk at
      full high speed !Yes my large smart phone does SMS on a decent size
      keyboard.No, I still dont accept SMS junk !
SMS's are wildly profitable for phone companies, which is
      why they promote them. You'r a sucker if you waste time with
      them rather than interactive phoning. |  |
