description: Instant, easy, and loads of fun, short text messaging (SMS) is the biggest communications revolution since e-mail. Nearly 17 billion text messages are sent every month from cell phone to cell phone. There's no cooler way to keep in touch! All the rage in Europe and Asia, SMS is quickly gaining popularity in North America as wireless phone providers begin to actively market to savvy consumers. Short Text Messaging is popping up everywhere from TV commercials to ads in popular magazines to billboards across the country. And the publicity push is squarely aimed teens and young adults, not only because SMS is cheaper and more convenient, but, most important, it's private! Get Messaging is the perfect sourcebook for this new communications wave. Because the phones are limited in the number of characters they can transmit, a whole new language using abbreviations and codes have emerged. Get Messaging combines material from AMP's four popular little books to offer hands-on advice, helpful how-tos, and ready-to-send messages. From sports chat to fun jokes to flirtatious one-liners, Get Messaging gives you everything you need to get started sending and receiving text messages on your cell phone.
