SMS Messaging and Society As SMS messaging continues to grow, it is interesting to see all of the ways it has become incorporated into everyday life. For example, the British Amulet Group fired 2,500 employees in 2003 through a text message to their mobile phones. Since then, other businesses have used a similar approach. SMS messaging has also started to play an important role in love and marriage. In Malayasia, for example, the government determined in 2003 that a man could divorce his wife by sending her a text message. In order to make the divorce official, all he needs to do is be sure the message is “clear and unequivocal.” Two years before ruling text messaging to be an acceptable method of divorce, however, the Malaysian government had determined that SMS messaging “I divorce you” three times in succession was not an acceptable way to move forward with an Islamic traditional divorce. According to massive media reports, the use of text messaging to deliver the news of an impending divorce is restricted to just Malaysia. Pop princess Britney Spears reportedly broke the news to her husband, Kevin Federline, through SMS messaging the day before she filed in court. SMS messaging has also proven to be a lifesaver for many. In fact, when the United States was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, many of the residents relied on SMS messaging to get in touch with loved ones. Since traditional landlines were unusable, SMS messaging made it possible for victims to let their loved ones know they were ok or what kind of help they needed in order to make it through. With SMS messaging being such a major component of many aspects of modern-day life, it certainly should be around for many years to come The Messaging Centre offers everything you need to setup a browser-based SMS messaging facility.
