I’m working on a story where the characters send text messages to each other? Should I place quotation marks around what the text message said or should I just do it without quotation marks?
P.S. I’m doing a manuscript for a novel.
This is why I asked the question.
Most of the texting gimmicks I’ve seen used bold type to denote it. This isn’t quite the handbook of style, but as I said, the texting part I’ve seen has generally been a gimmick. "look how hip we are" type of thing. I’d say treat it as you would anything being read by a character. I’m sure the proper way is to treat it the same as a book.

I know that cell phone company’s have to keep a record of each cell phones text messages. Cops, parents, and anyone else can get ahold of these, without reason. I am wondering how long do they keep them/how far back. I’ve had the same number for the past 6 years, and looking to get important info from text messages from 2 years ago.
they keep it forever

i heard E-911 systems can send a text message to emergency responders cell phones with details of call, location and type of call, also used as like a notification saying you have a call. i heard fire departments/countys have that for there fire departments. and ems squads
I’m not sure what your question is.
You cannot send a 911 center text messages. They are not equipped to recieve text messages from 911 callers yet.
Firemen use special pagers that recieve info from the 911 center, but it is nothing like text messaging.

In comparing the Nokia 3310 to the Nokia 6630, it appears that the 6630 Smartphone gives you several options as it relates to SMS messages, where the Nokia 3310 did not. With the Nokia 6630, it is my understanding that you need to define the Message Centers first, much like you set up addresses in your address book and then when a person you have in your address book calls you, their name is associated.
In order to view the Message Centre of an SMS message, you first have to make sure that the Log is turned on. On Page 26 of the User Manual for the 6630, it shows how to set this up:
Monitoring all communication events, monitor all voice and video calls, text messages, or data connections registered by the phone, press the ring looking button and select Log, and press to open the general log. For each communication event, you can see the sender or recipient name, phone number, name.
Service provider or access point. You can filter the general log to view just one type event and create new contact cards based on the log information. Sub events, such as a text message sent in more than one part and packet data connections, are logged as one communication event. Connections to your mailbox, multimedia messaging centre, or Web pages are shown as packet data connections. First you need to check the service settings.
Here is some additional information from the User Guide for this device that should be of help to you. It sounds like you have to first define the Message Centers in order to see information in your messages.
Settings for text messages Options when editing text message centre settings: Edit, New msg. centre, Delete, Help, and Exit.
Select Messaging, Options, Settings, Text message.
Message centers – Lists all the text message service centers that have been defined. Msg. centre in use – Select which message centre is used for delivering text messages. Receive report (network service) – To request the network to send delivery reports on your messages. When set to No, only the Sent status is shown in Log. See Log, p.25.
Message validity – If the recipient of a message cannot be reached within the validity period, the message is removed from the text message service centre. The network must support this feature. Maximum time is the maximum amount of time allowed by the network.
Message sent as – Change this option only if you are sure that your service centre is able to convert text messages into these other formats. Contact your network operator. Preferred connection – You can send text messages through the normal GSM network or through packet data, if supported by the network. See Connection settings, p.97.
Reply via same ctr. (network service) – Choose Yes, if you want the reply message to be sent using the same text message service centre number. Adding a new text message centre 1 Select Message centers, Options, New msg. centre.
If you have any problems with what I just told you then you can go on line to a cell phone web site or go down to your local cell phone store and they will be able to tell you more about the phone that you want.

Text Message Terrorism – What Not to Do to Get Your Ex Back
When your boyfriend decides to end the relationship, it’s easy to go into panic mode and do things you know you shouldn’t but can’t help but turn to. Fighting your first impulses isn’t easy, but if you allow yourself to make the wrong mistakes, it can really hurt your chances of getting him back. text message Terrorism is one of those mistakes.
For most people, this comes as a panic response to the worry that they’ll lose their ex forever and in their minds it’s the only way they can think of to latch onto their ex and keep themselves on his mind. What Text-Message Terrorism refers to is the onslaught of constant phone calls, emails, and you guessed it, text messages.
Not only does this violate the sacred “No Contact for a Month” rule that I set down for everybody in an immediate post-breakup situation, it puts you into a seriously bad position in your ex’s eyes. To be blunt, it makes you look clingy, desperate, and sometimes a little unstable. Taken to the extreme it can even be considered harassment!
A far better way to deal with this is to follow that One Month of No Contact rule. It gives both of you some time to cool off and get your minds and lives settled, and lets the fiery breakup emotions turn to missing each other and wanting each other back. You KNOW it’s happening to you, and you can bet if you two really were close it’ll be happening to him –but ONLY if you’re NOT there.
Another grave mistake you can make is after that month is up, when you actively pursue him again. Too many people assume that their first instincts are the best course of action when it comes to getting your ex back, when they’re most decidedly not. To make this as smooth and easy as possible, you’ll need an underlying strategy, a plan that you know works. Without it, you’re just setting yourself up for a lot of misery.

Watch a video that shows you exactly what you must NEVER do, what you should do to get your ex back and why at http://hubpages.com/hub/howshouldiwoomyexback
You will also learn how to reverse the situation if you have already done those things that should NEVER be done.

I have Cingular and I just added 1500 text-message feature to my plan.
I was wondering if I already have those 1500 text messages added to my bill already or will it be added on to the next cycle? Can I text now without having to pay .20 cents per text message?
why don’t u check with your network provider? calling their customer service?
cheers…
